When the pressure gradient force is balanced by this phenomenon for a flow, it is termed geostrophic.
Buys-Ballot's law is a consequence of this phenomenon. The beta plane approximation is used to estimate this phenomenon's associated parameter, which is proportional to the sine of latitude. When the pressure gradient force is balanced by this phenomenon for a flow, it is termed geostrophic. When the Rossby number is one, gravitational and centrifugal accelerations cancel and this phenomenon can be observed with Foucault's pendulum. In the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, this phenomenon deflects moving objects to the left, and right, respectively, creating clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. For 10 points, identify this fictitious force that results from the Earth's rotation.
