2 PROGRAM-ID FallingParticle
4 COMMENT Calculate the deflection from the vertical caused by the Earth's rotation of a particle falling freely from rest from a height h.
5 COMMENT Differential Equations:
6 COMMENT x''=-bz'+ay' # x-axis is along latitude, directed to east
7 COMMENT y''=-ax' # y-axis is along longitude, directed to north
8 COMMENT z''=-g+ax' # z-axis is perpendicular to the surface of earth
9 COMMENT g: gravitational acceleration = 9,81 m/s²
10 COMMENT a: 2*omega*sin(phi)
11 COMMENT b: 2*omega*cos(phi)
12 COMMENT omega: rotation velocity of the earth = 2*pi/day
13 COMMENT phi: Latitude of location (0-90°)
14 COMMENT Initial Condition: z(0)=h
15 COMMENT The full solution requires 6 INTEGRATORs, Anabrid-THAT just has 5. The deflection to longitude (y) is neglegible and can be omitted (marked #*).
16 COMMENT It could also be solved in a separated algorithm omitting x.
