What is the maximum distance for a whip in a push type drive system?

  1. 4.5M 15Feet

  2. 6M 20Feet

  3. 3M 10Feet

  4. 8M 26Feet

The correct answer is: 4.5M 15Feet

A whip is typically used as part of a push type drive system in rowing, where the distance between the seat and the handle is important. In this system, the maximum distance that the whip can extend is 4.5 meters or 15 feet. Choice B (6M 20Feet) and D (8M 26Feet) are incorrect because they both exceed the maximum distance for a whip in this type of drive system. Choosing either of these options could result in the whip becoming too loose and impacting the efficiency of the rowing stroke. Choice C (3M 10Feet) is also incorrect because it is shorter than the maximum distance for a whip in this type of drive system. Choosing this option would result in the whip being too tight and restricting the full extension of the rower's arms. Therefore, the correct answer is
