A turntable rotates counterclockwise at 78 rpm. A speck of dust... | Filo

Consider a frictionless puck on a horizontal turntable that is rotating counterclockwise with angular velocity Ω. (a) Write down Newton's second law for the coordinates x and y of the puck as seen by me standing on the turntable. (Be sure to include the centrifugal and Coriolis forces, but ignore the earth's rotation.) (b) Solve the two equations by the trick of writing η=x iy and guessing a solution of the form η=e^-i αt . [In this case - as in the case of critically damped SHM discussed in Se
