Abstract
During typical general relativity courses, the gravitational fields generated by rotating objects and the so-called frame dragging effect are explained by emphasizing the presence of a gravitational Coriolis-like force term. It is well known that, in a rotating system, there is also a fictitious centrifugal force. In general, textbooks do not discuss also the possibility of a gravitational centrifugal-like force, and, in a recent paper, we have analyzed the presence of a repulsive force in the vicinity of a rotating mass. Now, however, we want to reviews some historical aspects of Mach’s Principle and to analyze the centrifugal gravitational term inside a rotating spherical shell, with a new simple approach.
期刊介绍:
Gravitation and Cosmology is a peer-reviewed periodical, dealing with the full range of topics of gravitational physics and relativistic cosmology and published under the auspices of the Russian Gravitation Society and Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia. The journal publishes research papers, review articles and brief communications on the following fields: theoretical (classical and quantum) gravitation; relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, exact solutions and modern mathematical methods in gravitation and cosmology, including Lie groups, geometry and topology; unification theories including gravitation; fundamental physical constants and their possible variations; fundamental gravity experiments on Earth and in space; related topics. It also publishes selected old papers which have not lost their topicality but were previously published only in Russian and were not available to the worldwide research community
