SOUTHERLY DEVIATION OF FALLING BODIES

The Southerly Deviation of Falling Bodies

In the work of previous writers on the subject of this paper the potential function used for that of the earth's gravitational field of force has, in general, not been more than a first approximation, i. e., a development, in the neighborhood of the initial point of the falling body, which includes terms of only the first order in the independent variables. The circle of reference (parallel of ...

The Orbits of Freely Falling Bodies.

Deviation Measures and Normals of Convex Bodies

With any given convex body we associate three numbers that exhibit, respectively, its deviation from a ball, a centrally symmetric body, and a body of constant width. Several properties of these deviation measures are studied. Then, noting that these special bodies may be defined in terms of their normals, corresponding deviation measures for normals are introduced. Several inequalities are pro...

Orientation of long bodies falling in a viscoelastic liquid

New experiments on the orientation of a cylinder settling in viscoelastic and pseudoplastic fluids are described in an attempt to identify the main mechanisms which control the orientation of the cylinder as it falls.
