Object: Another attempt by the cranks to fool people
Another attempt by the cranks of sci.physics, sci.physics.relativity to
even deny the existence of well-documented affects by calling to their
help some crooks in Equador.

This is an old wives' tale, aided and abetted by impoverished
entrepreneurs living near the equator who use it to extract money from
tourists.

In fact, for a typical drain, careful observations show it requires
several hours of rest after filling before the water has settled down
enough so its rotation direction is random when drained. Indeed,
computations of Coriolis force for such a drain show it to be far too
small to account for the observed direction -- asymmetries in the drain
and/or initial conditions of the water are _FAR_ more important. There
was an article in AJP a few years ago on this.

The entrepreneurs can easily control which way the drain
flows by the way they fill the container. So they walk
100 yards north of the equator and show one direction, and
walk 100 yards south of the equator and show the other.
They are in _complete_ control of the water's direction.
Amazed tourists, gullible as anywhere else, pay up.

Here you go Roberts:
"...Any one of these factors is usually more than enough to overwhelm
the small contribution of the Coriolis effect in your kitchen sink or
bathtub. Research in the 1960s showed that if you do carefully
eliminate these factors, the Coriolis effect can be observed [1,2]."

"Centrifugal force" is a _fiction_ specifically invented so one could

zero at the center because there is no force that needs canceling there.

Take a look at the connection between the string and the rock. The string
exerts a centripetal force on the rock, and the rock exerts a centrifugal
force on the string. They form a Third Law pair.
The confusion arises when a Freshman claims there is a centrifugal force on
the rock. You have to wait until you're a Junior before you can do that!

It could. But there are other ways to look at it.
For example, the words centripetal and centrifugal are merely adjectives,
used to describe the direction of the force. It is just as correct to say
that there is a centrifugal force on the string as there is to say there is
a downward force on my chair.
I exert a downward force on my chair.
My chair exerts an upward force on me.
An example of Newton's Third Law.
The string exerts an inward force on the rock.
The rock exerts an outward force on the string.
An example of Newton's Third Law.
Perhaps the OP will see that "centripetal" is a synonym for "inward".
Likewise, "centrifugal" is a synonym for "outward".
The string exerts a centripetal force on the rock.
The rock exerts a centrigugal force on the string.
An example of Newton's Third Law.
One never knows what the OP will see. And one teacher's bad practice is
another's gem.

You are one of the two or three confused here. You say it acts like
centrifugal, it smells like centrifugal but do not call it centrifugal
because someone like you might get confused. So be it. Get confused. We

No, it does not act like centrifugal force. In a rotating frame of
reference the centrifugal force acts on all objects with mass
(unless they are at the centre of rotation) and is _proportional
to the mass of the body on which it acts_.
The reaction force on the string does act in a centrifugal direction
but is _quite independent of the mass of the string_. It is thus
completely different in character from the centrifugal force which
is invoked in a rotating frame.

it smells like centrifugal but do not call it centrifugal
because someone like you might get confused. So be it. Get confused.

I really cannot see your problem. You have two different forces,
which have one property in common (centrifugal direction) yet you
propose to give them the same name.

We

There is no need to mess with anything. You must agree that there is
some difference between the two types of 'centrifugal' force. (Please
say if you do not) Why, then, would you want to give them exactly
the same name?

There could be lots of differences between them. One might be a tension in
a string, another might be gravity. And often, the term refers to a sum of
forces, and not to any one force.
But to answer your question, the reason we call any force a centrifugal
force is because it's directed away from the center of rotation. That's why
they have exactly the same adjective.

'We' do not call the centrifugally directed reaction force
'centrifugal force'. Nearly all physicists reserve that term for
the mass-dependent force that is invoked in a rotating frame
of reference. I have seen the term loosely used in the way
you describe but this is bad practice; you can see the
confusion it causes.

I suppose you are linguistically correct, but usage by physicists is not
like that -- we use the term "centrifugal force" only for the term
m w x (w x r) (m=mass, w=angular rotation 3-vector,
r=position 3-vector)
This is strictly coordinate dependent and is applicable only in a frame
rotating with angular velocity w.
So, for instance, we would not call the downwash from a helicopter
"centrifugal force" even though it is directed away from the center of
rotation in a rotating frame centered on the earth. Ditto for the
downward thrust of a rocket being launched. Etc.

No there is not. I am nit talking about the rotating frame. I indicated
to you before that you jump around dancing between reference frames. In
the inertial frame, by Newton's third law, the reaction to the
centripetal force is the centrifugal force. This is very basic. If you
do not understand that we have no common basis for any discussion. You
can continue the discussion with van der Vomit which you seem to
patronize well.

You must learn basic physics before, understand Newton's laws and then
after sufficient time passes and you have done both your theoretical
and experimental duties to question yourself. Those who llok foR
crackpots as their main activity, like van der Vomit, are
psychoneurotic individuals with paranoia flashes.

No there is not. I am nit talking about the rotating frame.

Neither was I. I simply pointed out that in a rotating frame
we have something called cenrifugal force which depends
on the mass of the object on which it acts.
I fully understand that you were talking about a non-rotating
frame. That makes what everyone else calls centrifugal force
and what you call centrifugal force even more different.
To spell it out for you:
To the world's physicists, centrifugal force is a force that only
exists in rotating frames of reference and is proportional
(for a given position) to the mass of the object on which it acts.
To you, centrifugal force exists in a non-rotating frame and
does not depend on the mass of the object in which it acts.
That is two different things. Why give them the same name?

I indicated

No, you give the same name to two different things. (Or is it only
your version that you give the name 'centrifugal' to?)

In
the inertial frame, by Newton's third law, the reaction to the
centripetal force is the centrifugal force.

None of Newton's laws assigns names to forces. We have already agreed
that there is a reaction force and that it acts centrifugally. It is only the
name that is in dispute.

to you before that you jump around dancing between reference frames. In
the inertial frame, by Newton's third law, the reaction to the
centripetal force is the centrifugal force.

This would be very bad in an inertial frame. Allow me to explain why.
Suppose we have a rock (tied to a string) that is going around in a
circle in an inertial frame. According to you, there are two forces
acting on the rock, the centripetal force (inward, supplied by the
string) and the centrifugal force (outward, supplied by ... well, you
say by absolute space). The net force on the rock, then, would be zero.
However, this would violate both Newton's 2nd law and Newton's 1st law,
since an object with a net force of zero acting on it would also have
to exhibit an acceleration of zero. But the acceleration of the rock is
plainly not zero, because it is going around in a circle which
intrinsically involves an acceleration (a change in the direction of
the velocity vector, you see). By virtue of the circular motion, we
know that the rock *cannot* be in dynamic equilibrium in an inertial
frame. And in fact, we find that the centripetal force (supplied by the
string) is *precisely* what is required to account for the acceleration
of the rock. Thus the centrifugal "force" is not required at all to
account for the observed motion in the inertial frame. And if it's not
required to account for the motion, and if we can't attribute its agent
to anything other than ... well, "absolute space", whatever that
means... then what purpose does it serve?

This is very basic. If you
do not understand that we have no common basis for any discussion.

Exactly my point. It's very basic. If you do not understand it, we have
no common basis for any discussion.

You
can continue the discussion with van der Vomit which you seem to

I have never, never said that. This will violated basic physics. Look
at my posts. the centrifugal is acting on the hand or post or whatever
the rope is attached to. Come on, do you want to have a serious
discussion?

The net force on the rock, then, would be zero.
However, this would violate both Newton's 2nd law and Newton's 1st law,

You wrtings come from a misunderstanding of my postings. Either you
cannot read or you intentionaly misrepresent my postings. Read again
carefully what i have written and come back. Please do not come back
with misrepresentations.
I summarize:
In inertial frame: centrifugal is reaction to centripetal as of
Newton's third law. In this frame these forces are real with measurable
effects.
In non-inertial frame. centrifugal force must impress on the rock to
explain the state of rest. This is again explained by simple force
analysis. When talking the origin to a frame co-moving with the rock,
the centrifugal force, which is a real force, must be also carried
along and subracted from the centripetal to have the state of rest. It
is just standard force analysis.
In both frames, the same real force is used. Remeber Newton's thrid law
applies only in inertial frames that is why in the second case we are
not talking about a reaction any longer but a balancing force. Newton's
argument was that in that frame. the reactions are wrt an absolute
space, for both centripetal and centrifugal forces. This is because,
for Newton inertial frames are special and non-inertial frames are the
wrong choice of a FoR to apply his laws.
This is simple physics. Of course, some twist around the meanings for
the purpose of pushing through their own agenda. Reality and experiment
shows they are failures. Centrifugal forces are not ficticious, not
illusions, they are real forces in both inertial and non-inertial FoR.
