[* black] When the package is rotated about the X or Y axes (in the plane of the die surface), coriolis forces cause the plate to move perpendicular to the die surface. When the package is rotated about the Z axis (perpendicular to the plane of the die surface), the resulting displacement of the mass is in the plane of the die surface. |
