What happens to a human being when he or she is standing at the
wheel and the boat pitches and heaves up and down? Does the motion of
the boat get translated directly into motion at the person's head,
whipping their head up and down? Does the person jerk the wheel,
inadvertently changing course? To analyze these types of problems, you
need to understand the hydrodynamics of the boat and the whole-body
dynamics of the human being. This book combines physiology, physics and
vector algebra to explain the dynamics in easily understood terms. Lots
of drawings and comprehensive references make this a great book for
those of us who analyze and model such things. |
