WHAT IS A PSEUDO FORCE?

 PSEUDO FORCE

STATEMENT:

If a body is at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line it will continue to do so unless compelled by an external unbalanced force.

==>The above statement is valid only when you observe from non-accelerated frames.

==>If you observe the motion from earth , the above statement is valid at earth , so at earth above statement is known as NEWTONsinglequotes FIRST LAW.    


==>Mean above statement is a definition of frame in which law of Inertia is valid and these frames are known as Inertial frames (Non accelerated Frames)
    
==>Means If we are not observing the motion from inertial frame ,above statement will not valid.

==>Such  a frames are known as Non Inertial Frames (Accelerated Frame)

==>Actually Newton Wanted  to apply the above Condition (Give in the Statement) ,So he gives the concept of PSEUDO FORCE.


==>First of all you must know that PSEUDO FORCE is a Imaginary force ,it is not  a real force (Like ,Gravitational force ,Electromagnetic force ).

==> We will understand PSEUDO FORCE  through an .....

EXAMPLE :

                                

==>We have two observers A and B and two boxes A and B .Person B and box B are on Platform (at rest ) and Person A and Box A are in the train (At rest with respect to train).

==>Train is moving towards right with constant acceleration .

==>Now we will observe Boxes A and  B from two frames (train and Platform)

            

You can observe that from trainsinglequotes frame  is not valid(Quantitative relation between      and  , as said in NEWTONsinglequoteS first law).

=> Note 

You must know that Real Force on box A in the horizontal direction is static friction (f_s) and  is acceleration of train .

=>Newton introduced PSEUDO force so that one could apply   , even from accelerated frames(Non Inertial Frames)

=>SEE HOW : 

If person A observe Box A...........
        , From expression (1)

                                        

Note:

(-) Sign shows that  is towards left.

==>Now you can observe PSEUDO FORCE when person (A) observe box (B)

            
 
In this way we can understand How to apply PSEUDO force.
