CORIOLLI’S COMPONENT OF
ACCELERATION APPARATUS
OBJECTIVE :
To find the coriolli’s component of acceleration and verify the result.
THEORY :
If a point is moving along a line, with the line having rotational motion, the absolute
acceleration of the point, is vector sun of -
(i) Absolute acceleration of coincident point over the link relative to fixed center.
(ii) Acceleration of point under consideration relative top coincident point, and
(ii) The third component, called coriolli’s component of acceleration.
Consider the motion of slider ‘B’ on the crank OA. Let OA rotate with constant angular
velocity of a  rad/sec, and slider B have a radial outwards velocity V m/sec relative to
crank center ‘O’.
In the velocity diagram, OA represents tangential velocity of slider at crank position OA, and ab represents
radial velocity of slider, at same crank position. Oa’ is the tangential velocity of slider at crank position OA’
and a’b’ represents radial velocity of slider at same crank position.
Hence, bb’ represents the resultant change of velocity of slider. This velocity has two component b’ T and bT in
tangential and radial directions respectively.
Now, the Tangential component, b’T
= b’ s + st
= V sin d + [(r + dr) -  r]
= V d +  dr … (1)

Therefore rate of change of tangential velocity

=2V … (2)
Equation (ii) represents coriolli’s component of acceleration. This acceleration is made up of two components,
one due to increase in radius and other from change in the direction of crank.
HYDRAULIC ANALOGY
Consider a short column of fluid of length dr at radius r from axis of rotation of the tube. Then, if velocity of
fluid relative to tube is V and angular velocity of tube is  then coriolli’s component of acceleration is 2 V  in
a direction perpendicular to rotation of tube. The torque dT applied by the tube to produce this acceleration is
then

DT = -------- 2 V  r

Where, dW is weight of short column of fluid.
If W be the specific weight of fluid and a is cross-sectional area of tube, then

THE APPARATUS :
The apparatus uses hydraulic analogy to determine coriolli’s component of acceleration.

The apparatus consists of two brass tubes connected to a central rotor distributor. The
distributor is rotated by a variable speed d.c. motor. Water is supplied to a distributor by
a pump through rotameter. When tubes are rotating with water flowing through tubes
with various measurements provided, coriolli’s component can be determined
experimentally and theoretically.
PROCEDURE
Fill-up sufficient water in the tank. Rotate the coupling to ensure free rotation. Check nut
bolts for tightening. Start the motor and set the speed as required, e.g. say 150 rpm. Measure
the torque required for free rotation of tubes at that speed. (for measuring the torque, pointer
over the torque arm must coincide with the stationary pointer, before taking spring balance
reading).
Now start the pump and adjust the flow rate with the help of by-pass valve, so that water
does not overflow through central glass tube and also pipes run full of water. Now adjust the
speed to previous value and measure the torque. Note down water flow rate.
Repeat the procedure at different speeds.

PRECAUTIONS :

water surface.
2. Remove the glass tube with its water supply nozzle after the experiment is over.
3. Drain the water after the experiment is over.
4. Operate all the switches and controls gently.
