The Coriolis Component of Acceleration Apparatus is designed to study the Coriolis component of acceleration in a slider crank mechanism. The device uses a hydraulic analogy to represent the revolving slider, consisting of a spinning block with two opposing arms. A swinging field motor rotates these tubes at varying speeds and also functions as a dynamometer to measure the torque applied to the moving tubes. A Perspex window on the top cover allows for easy visualization of the process. Water flow through the tubes is measured with a rotameter, and a small single bladed pump is used to circulate the water.

Experimental Objective
