Lecture

Earth Dynamics and Foucault Pendulum

Description

This lecture covers Earth dynamics, the Foucault pendulum, and material point systems. Topics include Earth's gravitational field, relative vertical and horizontal motion, the Foucault pendulum equilibrium, and the dynamics of material point systems. The instructor discusses the apparent gravitational field, the effects of Earth's rotation on the gravitational field, and the dynamics of a material point system. The lecture also explores the impact of Earth's rotation on a vertical pendulum and the relative motion of air masses influenced by Earth's rotation.
