Coriolis Frequency Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Coriolis Frequency?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

f = 2 \cdot Ω E \cdot \sin (λ e)

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

f = 2 \cdot 7.3E-5rad/s \cdot \sin (43.29°)

Next Step Convert Units

∴

f = 2 \cdot 7.3E-5rad/s \cdot \sin (0.7556rad)

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

f = 2 \cdot 7.3E-5 \cdot \sin (0.7556)

Next Step Evaluate

∴

f = 0.000100002811858346

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

f = 0.0001
