a path of sargassum, an open ocean marine plant drifts westwardat 30 degree N in ocean current at a speed of v = 30 cm/s
Given:
acceleration (due to the coriolis force is ac = 2VΩEsinÏ where Vis velocity of the patch
ΩE = 7.27 x 10^-5 s^-1 is the rotation rate of earth (equivalentto 360 degree per day)
Ï is latitude
Q: what is acceleration of patch caused by coriolis force(gravity of g = 9.81 ms^-2 by ration g/ac) and how far would thepatch deflect after 1 hour (deflection of patch during time is d =1/2 act^2)
