A smooth bowling alley is oriented north–south as shown. A ball A is released with speed v along the lane as shown. Because of the Coriolis effect, it will deflect a distance δ as shown. Develop a general expression for δ. The bowling alley is located at a latitude θ in the northern hemisphere. Evaluate your expression for the conditions L = 60 ft, v = 15 ft/sec, and θ = 40°. Should bowlers prefer east–west alleys? State any assumptions.
