Question

Given that the wind is from the NNW at 8ms^-1 and a weak updraft of .5ms^-1, calculate the accelerations due to the coriolis force only for the x, y, and z directions. Assume a latitude of 40 degrees North. Given that the wind is from the NNW at 8ms^-1 and a weak updraft of .5ms^-1, calculate the accelerations due to the coriolis force only for the x, y, and z directions.

Explanation / Answer

Answer- Wind velocity = 8m/s

weak updraft = 0.5m/s

latitude = 40 degree

so the accleration due to coriolis force = a=2vsin

.where v is velocity

is angular velocity = =7.292x10-5 s -1 for earth

is latitude

so acceleration = -2* 7.292x10-5*8* sin 40

so accleration = 8.63*10-4 m/s2
