Horizontal Speed Across Earth’s Surface when Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration is Given Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

speed_across_earths_surface = Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration/(2*Angular Speed of the Earth*sin(earth-station latitude))
U = a_C/(2*Ω_E*sin(λe))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Trigonometric sine function, sin(Angle)

Variables Used

Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration- Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration of magnitude
Angular Speed of the Earth - Angular Speed of the Earth's Rotation (Measured in Radian per Second)
earth-station latitude - earth-station latitude is the coordinates of earth-station (Measured in Degree)

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration: 100 --> No Conversion Required
Angular Speed of the Earth: 100 Radian per Second --> 100 Radian per Second No Conversion Required
earth-station latitude: 10 Degree --> 0.1745329251994 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

U = a_C/(2*Ω_E*sin(λe)) --> 100/(2*100*sin(0.1745329251994))

Evaluating ... ...

U = 2.87938524157236

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.87938524157236 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.87938524157236 Meter per Second <-- Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface

(Calculation completed in 00.031 seconds)

What is Wind Stress?

In Physical Oceanography and Fluid Dynamics, the wind stress is the shear stress exerted by the wind on the surface of large bodies of water – such as oceans, seas, estuaries and lakes. It is the force component parallel to the surface, per unit area, as applied by the wind on the water surface.
