How to Use Apparatus for Coriolis Force
Place the apparatus on a flat, stable, and dry laboratory table.
Check that the rotating platform, base, guide path, and moving object are properly arranged.
If the apparatus is motorized, connect it to the recommended power supply as per the model requirement.
Start the platform slowly and allow it to rotate at a steady speed.
Release or roll the ball/object across the rotating platform from the selected starting point.
Observe the path of the object from the rotating frame and note the apparent curved motion.
Repeat the experiment by changing the rotation speed or direction.
Compare the observed paths and explain how Coriolis effect depends on motion and rotation.
Stop the apparatus completely before adjusting any part of the setup.
After use, clean and store the apparatus safely in a dry place.
