11.28. A satellite at a distance R from the center of Earth 

11.28. A satellite at a distance R from the center of Earth is in a circular orbit around Earth with an an- gular velocity of w. Let the system of coordinates fixed with the satellite have its X-axis along the line joining the satellite with the center of Earth and its Y-axis along the direction of its motion. Show that a particle of mass m near the satellite will experience a force of Finertial = 3mwxi 2mw X r. 11.29. A particle of mass mis projected from the North Pole in a path that is close to Earth. Obtain an ex- pression for the angular deviation of this particle. What is the angular deviation for a missile that travels a distance of 1200 km in 3 min? Calculate the "miss distance" if the missile were aimed directly at the target.
