Does anyonw know what a Euler force is and what it does? I know it is a fictitious force applied to non uniformly rotating frames of references, but I need examples of the Euler force; can anyone help me?
Way down at the bottom of Rotating Reference Frame is a brief description of the Euler force. In a rotating reference frame it is -m dw/dt x r. Since it involves dw/dt it only occurs when your frame is undergoing angular acceleration (e.g. you are on a merry-go-round and someone is applying torque to speed it up or slow it down). -Dale
