📄𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
Does the water really spiral one way down the plughole of a bath in the Northern Hemisphere and the other way in the South? Folk wisdom has always suggested that it might be so. But has anyone bothered to check - scientifically, that is?
The question of which way the water whirls isn’t easy to settle. Complicating factors are at work. Is the bath precisely level and symmetric? And how much are the contents of the bath, and hence the vortex, disturbed when someone gets out of the bath?
According to theory the water should swirl in the opposite sense in the two hemispheres because of the Coriolis effect. This is best understood by thinking about an ice skater who’s doing a pirouette. The more she pulls in her arms, the faster she spins. A basic law of physics, the law of conservation of angular momentum, tries to keep the hands turning at the same speed when close to the body as when outstretched.
A similar thing happens when you travel north or south from the equator on the spinning Earth; nature strives to maintain your eastward speed as you leave the large circle of the equator (equivalent to outstretched arms) and move to smaller orbits (equivalent to pulling your arms in). Consequently, all things heading away from the equator get a small eastward nudge, while objects moving toward the equator are pulled westward.
Strange effects can ensue. For instance, if a cannonball were fired from the equator at a target exactly north of it, the ball would be moving at 1,000 mph (as would be the cannon and everything else on the equator) when it left the cannon's mouth. Its target to the north would be moving eastward more slowly, however, and so the ball would land to the east of its intended mark. The Coriolis effect complicates the navigation of high-speed planes and missiles and has a decisive influence on the circulation patterns of oceans and winds. But what about the water in a bath tub?
Just before it disappears over the edge of the drain, the water heading toward the equator is nudged to the west and the water approaching from the other side of the plughole, moving away from the equator, is pushed to the east. The result: a Coriolis tendency for the water in, say, Newcastle, England, to spiral counter-clockwise and in Newcastle, Australia, to spin the other way.
But it is a very, very small tendency. And, in practice, commonsense insists it must be completely masked by other factors, such as the random disturbances caused by getting out of the bath and pulling the plug, or the geometry of the bath. Casual observation confirms this and it is not unusual to see the water reverse its direction of rotation even during a single outflow.
The fact is, the water in an ordinary bathtub, sloshing about with all manner of currents, hasn't a chance of showing an effect that really only comes into its own over large differences of latitude. And yet, under strict laboratory conditions the Coriolis effect can be detected.
Experiments carried out, appropriately enough in Watertown, Massachusetts, in Cambridge, England, and in Sydney, Australia, all gave positive results. The Australian team concluded: "We have acquired confidence in the hypothesis that carefully performed experiments on liquid drainage from a tank will show clockwise rotation, if done in the Southern Hemisphere."

I belive that Coriolis can cause effect on large scales like hurricanes or whirlpools, but not on small scales like bathtub, that mostly depends on the design.
The spin of the earth effects all free moving objects ..
check out the ‘planetary wind effect’
Also snipers have to all this effect !!
@@peterpauldonoghue7024 You're right, but no impact on bathtub or short distance shot.
@@SaereeNonhere’s the proof that it does. ruclips.net/video/4IIVfoDuVIw/видео.htmlsi=gYjMemqcWl1NwJfG
This fascinated me as a kid. When draining water from the bathtub i wondered why the water always swirled in the clockwise direction. Out of curiosity I'd force it to spin anticlockwise with my tiny hands, but it'd still spin in the clockwise direction within seconds.
I've always been curious, and 20 years later I've learnt the reason why. Thanks for this information. 👌🏾🤝🏽
Lies. The momentum would have kept it spinning anticlockwise. Water down a drain is too much scaled down that the coriolis effect is not significant enough to turn the momentum back around...
@@barrytirop7680they aren’t lying. Many including me have seen this same thing happen😂
if the coriolis effect was visible on this scale, cars etc. woudn't be able to drive in a straight line without getting pulled off the road. It only counts for great distances.
00:01 no
North: Clockwise
South: Anti-Clockwise
North: If you throw a ball it moves clockwise. If you study a hurricane, all of them rotates anti-clockwise.
No, the opposite
Opposite
you are right
In Your video icon the water roration image should be swapped ie., water rotates clock wise on northern hemisphere and rotates anti-clock wise in southern hemisphere, so the water images should be swapped
Hurricanes on the northern hemisphere rotates anti-clockwise. I'm sure water does the same.
I tested toilet against bathtub, to get contradicting results. Does not feel differently than my other gullibilities.
watched this video at 0.25x. Still didn't get it.
Which was would it swirl at the equator?
It doesn't. It just drains straight down with no spin.
@@Ya_Khetilwe how would it look like?
It mixes itself from clockwise to anti-clockwise back forth back forth etc
This is just common sense. Nothing weird. The water thing is visible on large scales, not small scales. You fall on one side of the line because how it works to walk on the line. The egg balancing on the nail isn’t because of the equator, that’s a myth. It’s just someone took a really long time to balance the egg on the nail, like it usually does when you’re trying to balance an egg. How did you believe this? Unless you knew it was all a dupe and tried to trick the people watching this?
It isn't common sense since millions of people think that the water swirl in different directions depending on if you are north or south of the equator.
Why are you talking about eggs? They weren't mention once in the video.
Totally wrong.
First
North side clockwise
South side Andy clockwise
😢😢😢
Thanks a lot sir
In the North the rotation of a water swirl goes COUNTER CLOCKWISE just like the hurricanes do.
In South rotation becomes CLOCKWISE.
Exactly on the Equator NO ROTATING swirl of water.
This is shown in Uganda At The Equator Water Experiment video
So, now that the Earth is flat for some people, how then will the water swirl in the N hemisphere and S hemisphere?
Anybody?
And I am not a flattard.
i never been in southern in my intire life
Me and my boys declare Nonsense on this! We get a decent whirlpool after every bath, and when we purposefully spin it the wrong way it corrects itself quite quickly 💪
Yes but it has nothing to do with if you are north or south of the equator, it has to do with the shape of the bathtub.
Lies... All lies 😐
Nonsense on what?
Same with toilets… they are designed to flow the water a certain way..
i am the great Cornholio.
Hey you! Habla epañol?!
My god. The speed of narration is unbearably slow.
speed it up 😉
@@ScienceWorld1 - Your narrator has a very soothing voice.
Its because hes british. He cant help it
just right for me.
I for one actually appreciate not hearing someone speak like they're on a time limit.
So. No proof of anything.
Well, if this were an actual occurrence, a helicopter could hover near the equator and travel 1000 miles per hour... but somehow the air travels with the earth at this speed too, so this doesn't occur, you'd say? Well then if Coriolis effects water and storms but not air, isn't gravity super selective?
No.
I don't think you have a clear understanding of what the Coriolis effect is...
@@betaorionis2164 don't I? Maybe you can edumakate me.
@@RobertTozzi Sure I could, but it would require that you are ready to spend many hours in your life getting the basics and studying boring books of physics. Just like physicists or engineers do.
Coriolis is not the ultimate complication, far from that, but you still need a good understanding of 3D vectors, dot and cross product, equations of movement (both linear and angular) and derivatives. Lose any hope to make progress if you don’t build from scratch. Watching RUclips videos by illiterate conmen doesn’t help, of course.
EDIT: don’t take it badly, not knowing Coriolis (or, at least, not knowing it in deep) is not an offence, 90% of the people are not familiar with it. In fact, it’s the normal situation unless you come from a SMET background. But I’m sure you have your own field of expertise, we all have. What is ridiculous, however, is to pretend to be on pair with seasoned engineers or physicists just because one day you saw a video made by some idiotic grifter.
@@betaorionis2164 actually, no snipers calculate for Coriolis, neither do pilots... if it were real, it wouldn't just affect toilets and sinks.
Bullshits: those whirlpools are not due to coriolis effect, but simply on how is made the sink or the plate shower. They're too little to see coriolis effect: to see it, the whirlpool should be kms wide, and far from equator.
