Mathematical Concept of Earth's Rotation Affecting Rowing Records
Rowing records are impacted by the Earth's rotation. As the Earth spins, a phenomenon similar to a sprinkler's water movement occurs, pushing rowers sideways. This effect varies with latitude, with rowers in London experiencing a 40-meter push backward during a 2,000-meter rowing race, resulting in a 7.5% energy loss to keep the boat straight.
