Why does the commode water swirl around counter clockwise in Australia?
I doubt water swirls in a different direction in Australia than in any other place. If it does it's caused by how the commodes are manufactured. The jets that deliver the flush water determine which way the water swirls.Answer:There is commonly held factoid ("sounds real but isn't" fact) that due to the Coriolis force water entering drains in the Northern Hemisphere swirls in the opposite direction to water in the Southern Hemisphere (just like hurricanes and cyclones are supposed to). Science has disproved this, indicating that the minor irregularities in the opening far outweigh the effect of the Coriolis force. The main cause of the water swirl (especially in toilets) is due to the design of the bowl itself.
Why the rotation direction of water in a sinks changed after crossing the equator?
The twisting effect of the Coriolis force is real and does influence certain large things like the movement of air masses, but the effect is so small that it plays no role in determining the direction in which water rotates as it exits from a draining sink or toilet. The Coriolis effect produces a measurable effect over huge distances and long periods of time, such as storm systems, but don't apply to your bathroom or kitchen. Toilets and sinks drain in the directions they do because of the way water is directed into them or pulled from them. The configuration of taps, drains and the surface of the bowl is responsible for the direction of the water draining through, overwhelming the coriolis effect. It's a bit of a urban myth. People on the equator sometimes demonstrate it to tourists, but these are rigged.
Why is it harder to make water swirl counter clockwise?
It depends upon what type of water you are discussing. Hurricanes do swirl counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere (clockwise in the southern) due to the rotation of the earth. In sinks, toilets, etc., that does not apply. For those situations rotation is dependent upon any pre-existing movement of the water, shape of the container, smoothness of the container, and location of the drain.
Why does water go anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere?
Conservation of gravitational energy. The force of gravity causes force towards the center of the earth and the "curl conservation force" points away from the center. 0=dV/dt + cDelxV + R' cDel.V, the curl DelxV is the counter force circulating anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. R' is the radial unit vector. However, this only applies (noticeably) to systems of sufficient magnitude, such as hurricanes. Toilets and sinks are far too small for the Coriolis Force to influence rotation.
How much water does the average person use daily?
The average person uses about 80-100 gallons of water per day for various activities such as drinking, washing, flushing toilets, and cooking. This estimate can vary depending on region, lifestyle, and personal habits.
Does the toilet spin the other way in Australia?
Many people believe that toilets in Australia flush counter-clockwise (i.e. the opposite way of the United States' toilets). This is untrue, as the forces involved are too weak to influence flow on such a small scale; the direction of such floow in toilets and bathtubes is more-or-less random, influenced by perturbing factors in the system. Whirlpools do flow in the opposite direction on opposite sides of the Equator due to Coriolis Force, an effect of the Earth's rotation.
Do toilets flush Opposite ways on opposite hemispheres?
No; toilets are far too small to be affected by the Coriolis Force.
Which way does a toilet swirl when flushed in Yarra Park Stadium?
Yarra Park Stadium is in Melbourne, Australia. That makes it south of the equator and will therefore swirl in the direction opposite of flushed toilets in North America, i.e. Australia - counterclockwise; USA - clockwise. (I'm in California, so when I go to the bathroom next I'll double check).

What percentage does Australia have of flushin toilets?

Do toilets rotate in different direction in different hemispheres?
No.
Why is it winter in europe in December but in December it is summer in sydney?
Europe is on the northern side of the equator while Australia is in the Southern side. This causes a reversal in seasons, and the direction in which the toilets flush(:
Do whirlpools spin in opposite directions on opposite sides of the equator?
Some will. The Coriolis effect, however, only has absolute effect on large scale motion, and small changes in conditions can cause circulation in either direction in either hemisphere.Many people believe that toilets in Australia flush clockwise (i.e. the opposite way of those in the northern hemisphere, e.g in the US). This is untrue, as the forces involved are too weak to influence flow on such a small scale. The direction of such flow in toilets and bathtubs is more-or-less random, influenced by perturbing factors in the system.Moving fluids do tend to flow in the opposite direction on opposite sides of the Equator due to the Coriolis effect, an effect of the Earth's rotation. Water in (large) whirlpools and atmospheric flows around low-pressure areas (cyclonic storms like hurricanes or typhoons) turn clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and anti-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.Also, from the standpoint of locations on a sphere (the Earth) clockwise in the north *is* counter-clockwise in the south. If a clear window were set into the Earth, people looking down at the opposite side would see the motion proceeding in the opposite direction.
What direction do the toilets flush in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?
In the Northern Hemisphere, toilets flush counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect. In the Southern Hemisphere, toilets flush clockwise for the same reason. However, the effect is typically too weak to influence the direction of toilet flushes.
Does the Continental Divide cause toilets to flush in different directions?
No, the direction in which toilets flush is determined by the design of the toilet and the direction of the water jets, not by the location of the Continental Divide. The Coriolis effect, which influences the direction of large-scale weather systems, is too weak to affect the direction of water in a small, confined space like a toilet bowl. The idea that toilets flush in different directions based on hemispheres is a common misconception.
Flushing a toilet in the southern hemisphere?
In the southern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect does influence the rotation of large-scale weather patterns, but it is too weak to affect the direction in which a toilet flushes. The direction a toilet flushes is primarily determined by the design of the toilet and the angle of the water jets.
Who is the member of the band one direction who used to have water fights on toilets?
simple... that's Joey
