Coriolis Acceleration
- If the distance between the two points does not remain fixed and the second point slides, the total acceleration will contain an additional component of acceleration, known as Coriolis Acceleration.
- Coriolis component of acceleration is equal to 2vω, where, v is the sliding velocity and ω is the angular speed.
- The direction of Coriolis acceleration is such as to rotate the slider velocity vector in the same sense as the angular velocity of the link.
- This acceleration is experienced by a point on one link that is sliding along another rotating link.
