Created the page with a small explanation of the Euler force
The '''Euler force''' is a [[fictitious forces|fictitious force]] found in rotating frames of reference. It depends on the angular acceleration of the rotating reference frame and the position of a particle in that frame. It can be described mathematically as:
:<math>
\vec{F} = -m \vec{\dot \omega} \times \vec{r}
</math>
where <math>\vec{\dot \omega}</math> is the angular acceleration and <math>\vec{r}</math> is the position vector.<ref>[http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath633/kmath633.htm mathpages.com]</ref> As the angular acceleration of the earth is very small it can normally be neglected on Earth.
