Contact forces and Coriolis acceleration. Particle P is able to slide within a smooth slot cut into a disk. The disk is rotating at a constant rate, Ω. We desire to understand the reaction force of ...

This concept is used in Coriolis vibrational gyroscopes (CVG’s) to measure the orientation angle of a rotated phone. In CVG’s, the radial motion v rel is produced by exciting the contacting particle ...
