Do you like the Simpsons? Well, I have loved them, ever since I was a child.
Anyway, in one episode (Bart vs. Australia), Lisa explains to Bart that, in the northern hemisphere, water flows counter-clockwise, and in the southern hemisphere clockwise, due to the Coriolis force.
In reality, the Coriolis force is an “apparent force”: a force that an observer sees on a par with other forces in certain circumstances.
But let’s get back to the point …
Well, no! The sink, like the bathtub, or the swimming pool, empties in too short a time to exert such force.
It has even been calculated that to see the water flow in the other direction, it would be necessary for the tub to be completely symmetrical, in a room totally devoid of drafts, and to leave the water in the tub to “rest” between filling and emptying, for about 18 hours.
However, Inox Bim manufactures stainless steel sinks for professional kitchens and more.
But don’t waste water doing senseless experiments though!
