Force determination during water skiing with the MSR data loggers

The popular Swiss TV program "Einstein" reports weekly on current topics from all areas of knowledge. MSR data loggers are featured.

Water skiers are said to reach speeds of over 100 km/h in a slalom and withstand centrifugal forces like in a roller coaster. "Einstein" has verified this data together with the police and measurement technology specialists. Several MSR data loggers were used to test the acceleration forces.
