Free Fall Dynamics

This lecture covers the dynamics of free fall in the terrestrial frame of reference, including the apparent weight, equations of motion, and deviations caused by forces like the Coriolis force and centrifugal force. It also discusses the plumb line's deviation, horizontal movements, and the similarity between the Coriolis force and the Lorentz force. The instructor explains the balance in a rotating ring, stable and unstable equilibrium, and small oscillations limited to the second order, providing examples and numerical values to illustrate the concepts.
