Passage / Comprehension

When an object is seen from rotating frame of referance, coriollis force acts on the object which is equal to $2 m (V \times ω)$ where $V$ is velocity of object with respect to rotating frame and $ω$ is angular velocity of rotating frame.

A stone is dropped from ' $h$ ' height at a place at $6 0^{\circ}$ Latitude on northern hemisphere. Where will it land on ground (Ignore centrifugal force and consider height ' h ' to be small in comparison to radius of earth $= R$ )

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$f = 2 m (v \times ω)$ : for a body falling vertically downward, $v \times ω$ points toward the east.

The stone lands to the east of the place - (C)
