Angular deviation of a projectile


Assignment:

A projectile is fired horizontally along the earth's surface. Show that to a first approximation the angular deviation from the direction of fire resulting from the Coriolis force varies linearly with time at a rate of cos ωΘ, where ω is the angular frequency of the Earth's rotation and is the latitude angle, the direction of deviation being to the right in the northern hemisphere.

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question, use formulas.
