Dynamics of a solid body

Problem 1.268

Demonstrate that in the reference frame rotating with a constant angular velocity ω\omega about a stationary axis a body of mass mm experiences the resultant (a) centrifugal force of inertia Fcf=\mathbf{F}_ {c f}= =mω2RC,=m \omega^{2} \mathbf{R}_ {C}, where RC\mathbf{R}_ {C} is the radius vector of the body's centre of inertia relative to the rotation axis; (b) Coriolis force Fcor =2m[vcω],\mathbf{F}_ {\text {cor }}=2 m\left[\mathbf{v}_ {c}^{\prime} \mathbf{\omega}\right], where vC\mathbf{v}_ {C}^{\prime} is the velocity of the body's centre of inertia in the rotating reference frame.
