I have so trouble following Goldsteins derivation of the time derivative in the rotating refrence frame, and its use to derive the coriolis force (sec. 4.9-10) Given an intertial frame of refrence, S, and a rotating one, S′, contected through the transformation
x′i=aij(t)xj,xi=a′ij(t)x′j=aji(t)x′j,
we can get the time derivative in the rotating refrence-frame by use of the chain rule,
ddtxi=aijdx′jdt+daijdtx′j.
Assuming aij(0)=δij, w can rewrite the equation as
ddtxi=dx′idt+daijdtxj.
daij is an infinitesimal rotation, and can be writen as (Goldstein in sec. 4.8)
dA=[0dΩ3−dΩ2−dΩ30dΩ1dΩ2−dΩ10]=ωωdt,
so that daij=ϵikjωkdt. This finally gives us
ddtxi=dx′idt+ϵikjωkxj=(ddtaji+ϵikjωk)xj,
or as Goldstein writes it,
(ddt)space=(ddt)body+ω×.
He then quickly uses this operator form to get
ddtrr=vv=(ddtrr)body+ωω×rr=vv′+ωω×rr′,
(notice the switch between unprimed and primed rr) and then
ddtvv=(ddtvv)body+ωω×vv=(ddt(vv′+ωω×rr′))body+ωω×(vv′+ωω×rr′)=aa′+2ωω×vv′+ωω×(ωω×rr′).
I have tried to derive this using the indecies, but to no avail. If anyone is able to this, it would be greatly apriciated. I am espeacially having trouble with the term
(ddt(vv′+ωω×rr′))body.
I also find Goldsteins switch between the primed and unprimed system dubious, so any clarafications on this would also help.
