1 # FallingParticle, VERSION 20240225
2 # Calculate the deflection from the vertical caused by the Earth's rotation of a particle falling freely from rest from a height h.
3 # Differential Equations:
4 # x''=-bz'+ay' # x-axis is along latitude, directed to east
5 # y''=-ax' # y-axis is along longitude, directed to north
6 # z''=-g+ax' # z-axis is perpendicular to the surface of earth
7 # g: gravitational acceleration = 9,81 m/s²
10 # omega: rotation velocity of the earth = 2*pi/day
11 # phi: Latitude of location (0-90°)
12 # Initial Condition: z(0)=h
13 # The full solution requires 6 INTEGRATORs, Anabrid-THAT just has 5. The deflection to longitude (y) is neglegible and can be omitted (marked #*).
14 # It could also be solved in a separated algorithm omitting x.
19 coefficient(4): +1 -> g
20 coefficient(5): -1 -> -h
22 iintegrate (-bz', ay') -> -x' # Input is x''
25 iintegrate (y'') -> -y'
28 iintegrate (z'') -> -z'
29 iintegrate (-z') -> z:
31 limit: GT0 # via z to cathode of diode to SJ
38 isum(-ax', g) -> z'' # gives -g+ax'
