A major attraction in Entebbe, Uganda, is to watch water drainfrom a bucket on both sides of the equator and observing whichdirection the water spins.
a) Estimate the Rossby number for the flowing water in thebucket. Does the Coriolis force have enough strength to influencethe direction of the draining bucket?
b) For the flow to be influenced by the Coriolis force, estimatehow slow the water would be spinning.
c) If this experiment was done at the North Pole instead of theequator, would it be the same? If not, hat would be different andwhy?
