- What exactly is meant by rowing hard pressure vs rowing light pressure?
- Can we review rowing specific nomenclature (i.e. bowwards, erg, hull, etc.)?
- What is the significance of the different classes of levers?
- What does gearing mean in the context of rowing beyond the highly technical definition of: “ratio of the distance moved by the load to the distance moved by the effort?”
One comment to “Rowing Questions”
Hard pressure vs. light pressure is very literally the amount of pressure a rower exerts when rowing. A lot vs. a little.
Levers are important to physics and are basically the same three components no matter which class of lever is being discussed: load, fulcrum, and effort, just in different orders.
