Re: Friction

From: Doug Craigen <dcc@ESCAPE.CA>

shouldn't the boat be addressed as a viscosity problem rather than a
friction problem

Quite right. But then, if Humpty Dumpty can redefine "glory" to mean
"a nice knock-down argument," Mr. Denker can redefine static/kinetic
friction to mean viscous drag.
