On the wave equations of rotating strings

  

  • Online:2008-02-25 Published:2008-02-20

Abstract: Wave equations for two different types of rotating strings are given in some reference books or text- books of methods of mathematical physics, but the effect of the Coriolis force is not taken into account. There-fore the discussions are incorrect (for vertical rotating heavy string) or incomplete (for horizontal rotating light string). These wave equations are re-derived and their solutions are discussed.

Key words: rotating string, wave equation, Coriolis force
