The formula to calculate the Oar Length (OL) is:
\[ OL = \left( \frac{S}{2} + 2 \right) \times \frac{25}{7} \]
Where:
The oar length is calculated based on the span between the oarlocks. This measurement is crucial for ensuring that the oars are the correct length for efficient rowing and optimal performance.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Oar Length:
\[ OL = \left( \frac{60}{2} + 2 \right) \times \frac{25}{7} \approx 228.57 \, \text{inches} \]
This demonstrates that with a span between oarlocks of 60 inches, the oar length would be approximately 228.57 inches.
