Question

A particle of mass m is confined to move along a rodthat is pivoted at the center and rotates with a constant angularvelocity in a plane. Consider that problemfrom the point of view of an xy reference frame that is rotatingwith the rod, assuming that x is along the rod. Draw a clearlylabeled diagram of the setup.
a) Show the direction and write down the expression for thecentrifugal force. b) Show the direction and write down the expression for theCoriolis force. c) Show the direction of the normal force on theparticle. d) Write down the equations of motion in the x and ydirections and solve for the normal force N. e) What is the general form of x(t)? What do youconclude about the motion of the particle on the rod?

Explanation / Answer

Okay...I believe I've figured out the problem...if anyone wants to pitch in though so that I can confirm my answers, that'd be good and I'll still give 10 karma points.
