As you found, they can stay in position for ages.<br /><br />I think equilibrium is maintained because if, say, the bit sticking out to the right starts to be swept back, the bit on the left tries to go forward harder against the current: the force on it increases and brings it back into line. The branch/plank ends up at roughly right-angles to the boat.Halfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167481543065324357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523079345071110804.post-77612006689630837032012-06-20T18:05:03.291+01:002012-06-20T18:05:03.291+01:00John says - he looks a venerable old man, sat on h...John says - he looks a venerable old man, sat on his chair, not saying which one! ha ha.<br /><br />We have had a sunshine day as well, makes it so much better, we are in Skipton now.<br /><br />love Ali xAli and John (NB Triskaideka)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08618974129415250323noreply@blogger.com
