Question

Show that the horizontal component of the Coriolis force experienced by a particule moving anywhere on the surface of the earth is independent of the direction of motion. Hints: use ? for the latitude, define O'x'y'z' as usual, use ?v' for the velocity in the NIRF (which is in the local horizontal plane), and ? for the angle made by ?v' with the direction to the north in this NIRF.
