Coriolis Force
An inertial force on a moving body, or particles, produced by the movement
of the masses involved, perpendicular to the axis of the primary rotating
system. Also called compound centrifugal force, deflecting force. See
inertial
force, coriolis
acceleration.
Such a force is required if Newton Laws are to be applied in the
system.
