Sorry. Do the math for a specific turn and show what the difference in
torque is.

Let's say for a skier traveling at 20 mph making a turn with a radius of
20 feet.

Do you own math if you cannot think/draw conclusion without the
numbers. And you haven't demonstrated that you even know what a
"torque" is, why "the torque on the inside shoulder speeds it up...."
what's the "torque on the inside shoulder," and how it "speeds"
it/"what" up?



Yes, there's always "spinning/rotation motion," when referencing to
the center of the turn/curved path.

That's as may be. But one can have a torque without a "spinning/rotation
motion".

Fancy, what, and how?

Don't think you can.

I don't doubt that you don't think.

Of course, you only think you know.

There's air resistance, but won't affect the balance if you have the
footing solidly planted on sliding.

And thus a torque, since the centre of pressure is located roughly half
your height above the point about which your body rotates with respect
to the snow: your ankles.

That's your "torque," when you rotate your body/ankles, i.e. your way
of skiing. Flatboarding/slipping-turn does not have to rotate the
ankles to make turns.


Are you taking physics lessons from Jeff Davis?
