Scientists rule out running from the rain

دانشمندان می گویند از باران فرار نکنید

UNIVERSITY SCIENTIST report in the journal Weather that it is
pointless to run, ending a dispute that has rumbled on for years.
A dash means spending less time in the rain, but you will be just as wet at the end
Of the trip, says Dr Stephen Belcher, a lecturer in meteorology.  To come this
conclusion,   Dr Belcher and his colleagues observe that there are two ways in which
a person encounters each raindrop: ‘firstly the raindrops can fall directly on to the
top surface of the person,  and secondly, as the person moves, they will run into those
raindrops which are directly in front of them.’ However the surface area of the front of
an individual is much greater than that   of the head and shoulders. Using idealized
cuboids  people to make the calculations easier, the team concludes that wetting
 from passing through  the rain is the domination  factor. Only if we moved very slowly,
or were caught in an  incredible storm, would it be a good idea to make a dash for it.

The scientists are baffled by why most people prefer to run, says John Holden, another

 

 member of the team.  He agrees that ‘this intriguing problem’ should know be passed to

 

 the university’s  psychology department. ‘Sometimes I do run, ‘he admits.
