LOL Just for fun I worked out the curvature of the water sports centre canoeing lake the other day. It'll be fun! come on post up your equation? curvature as in going with curvature of the earth ?

Not got it to hand lol. Its in the bin now. Basically there's a 2.5km lake at my gym and I thought it'd be brilliant field experiment for kids because it's probably long enough to measure a significant difference in apparent height, due to the earth curving, between the middle and each end. So I worked it out to make sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,812 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Spoiler! The middle of the lake would appear to rise 12cm from level! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The middle of the lake would appear to rise 12cm from level! and is that because water is level? so if it was 5k it would be 24cm of a difference? so the difference over the atlantic ocean between uk n usa is 240m higher in the middle? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure we can extrapolate all the way to America, I'd have to check that my working is valid. But yeah you understand what I'm saying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
