If every person in the boat is going to apply the same amount of force when they row no matter what the others in the boat are doing, why does it matter if they're all rowing together? I understand that all rowing together results in a stronger individual burst, but why is one strong burst any stronger than multiple weak bursts when the sum is the same?
I understand theoretically that if everyone's moving at once, the resistance to individual rowers appears lower - but why is that, if they're still applying the same amount of force?
