Which of the following statements are true for motion on the surface of the earth, if we take the rotation of the earth into consideration Select one or more: The centrifugal force on a body at the south pole is zero The centrifugal force on a body at the equator is zero The centrifugal force on a body at the equator is maximum The centrifugal force on a body at the equator is minimum A body moving westwards on the equator will feel a coriolis force A body moving southwards on the equator will feel a coriolis force For a body moving horizontally at latitude 60° the coriolis force has components along and perpendicular to the surface of the earth For a body moving horizontally at latitude 60° the coriolis force has only components along the surface of the earth For a body moving horizontally at latitude 60° the coriolis force has only components perpendicular to the surface of the earth
