Hi JonnathanAguilar,

The particular named expression is taken from Alpresa’s paper (2017) whereby she defines an ingenious equation for the inertial forces for the x-direction (ex) and y-direction (ey) forces below; whereby the α represents the angular velocity, ω represents the orbital radius, The z-direction as you would expect follows that of gravity (-9.81 m/s2) and is therefore not seen in the equation but rather just manually input in the named expression. :



For more information, you can check the paper out:
