Surface of a Liquid: Equations and Forces

This lecture covers the description of the surface of a liquid in a rotating reference frame, including the equations governing the system, external forces acting on it, and examples of uniform rectilinear motion. It also explains the concepts of centripetal acceleration, Coriolis acceleration, and relative acceleration. The lecture further discusses the conservative nature of centrifugal force, potential energy, and equilibrium conditions. Additionally, it explores the behavior of the liquid surface following a parabolic shape and the trajectories of cyclones in the northern hemisphere.
