The techniques of solving the motion of a body with respect to a non-inertial frame of reference is by introducing the concept of PSeudo forces.
Suppose a frame of reference S' moves with constant acceleration 0 with respect to an inertial frame S. The acceleration of the particle P measured with respect to S' is PS' and that with respect to S is PS. The acceleration of S' with respect to S is S'S = 0
Since S' is translating with respect to S, we have
PS = PS' - S'S
= PS' - SS'
or = PS - 0
m = m PS - m 0 where m is the mass of the particle.
|
 |
Since S is an inertial frame m PS is equal to the sum of all the forces acting on P. Writing this sum as , we get m = - m 0

This equation relates the acceleration of the particle and forces acting on it. Comparing it with equation = m where acceleration is measured in an inertial frame the acceleration of frame with respect to an inertial frame comes into the equation. Newton' s law is not valid for such non-inertial frame. An extra term - m has to be added to the sum of the forces acting on the particle before using the equation. It can be noted that in this extra term m is the mass of particle under cosideration and is the acceleration of working frame reference with respect to the inertial frame. We are so familiar with Newton' s laws that we would like to use the same equation for this frame also. This can be done if we call (- m ) a force acting on the particle. Then while preparing the list of forces acting on the particle. We include all real forces acting on P and include an imaginary force - m this is called pseudoforce. This force is to be included because we are discussing the motion from a non-inertial frame and still want to use Newton' s law.
11. A body of mass m is placed over a smooth inclined plane of inclination , which is placed over a lift which is moving up with an acceleration a0. Base length of the inclined plane is L. Calculate the velocity of the block with respect to lift at the bottom. If it is allowed to slide down from the top of the plane from rest.
12. A particle of mass m is placed on the smooth face of an inclined plane of mass M and slope which is free to slide on a smooth horizontal plane in a direction perpendicular to the edge. If the particles slides with an acceleration 'a', the acceleration of the inclined plane towards right A will be |
