'''Rowing''' is a sport in which athletes race against ilk ither oan rivers, oan lochs ur oan th' brine, dependin' upon th' teep ay race an' th' discipline. th' boats ur propelled bi th' reaction forces oan th' [[oar (sport rowing)|oar]] blades as thay ur pushed against th' watter. th' sport can be baith recreational, focusin' (contracted; show full)arding) force on the seestem must equal the average propulsion force on the seestem. The drag forces conseest o aerodynamic drag on the superstructure o the seestem (components o the boat situated abuin the waterline), as well as the hydrodynamic drag on the submerged portion o the seestem. The propulsion forces are the forrit reaction o the watter on the oars while in the watter. Note an aa that the oar can be uised tae provide a drag force (a force actin against the forrit motion) when the seestem is bro
ugcht tae rest. Awtho the oar can be conveniently thocht o as a lever wi a "fixed" pivot pynt in the watter, the blade moves sideways an sternwards throu the watter, sae that the magnitude o the propulsion force developed is the result o a complex interaction atween unsteady fluid mechanics (the watter flow aroond the blade) an solit mechanics an dynamics (the handle force applee'd tae the oar, the oar's inertia an bending characteristic, the acceleration o the boat an sae on).
