Engineering Physics Annotation << Back To the Question of the Direction of Rotation of Water When it is Drained Through a Funnel Gladkov S.O. Based on the principle of minimum energy it is shown that at the north pole the direction of stationary rotation of water when it is drained through the funnel should be opposite to the direction of its rotation at the south pole. Keywords: rotational speed, gravity, magnetic field. DOI: 10.25791/infi zik.3.2025.1466 Pp. 30-32.
