itude to another, °fcentnfusal force; is 9; whence we conclude that the centrifugal force varies asthe cosine of the latitude. The centrifugal force is exerted in the direction of theradius R of the parallel of latitude, and therefore in adirection oblique tothe horizon TT.Lay off on the… … the centrifugalforce resolvedinto a verticaland horizontalcomponent; ish the weight P by its entire value, being directly opposedto the force of gravity, the second will tend to urge thebody towards the equator.
