Wheel and Axel
yes it is
Sailing boats are full of ingenious examples of pulleys; rowing boat oars provide one of a few examples where the fulcrum is located such that it reduces the applied force and increase the distance over which it acts
I suppose the narrow bow of a boat is a wedge
A lever is a machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge, or fulcrum.
a second class lever
Inclined plane
A simple machine that helps a boat slice through water is the hull of the boat. The shape of the hull reduces drag by allowing water to flow smoothly around it, making it easier for the boat to move forward with less resistance.
l think that its a wheel and axle.
A boat is not classified as a simple machine in the traditional sense, as it is a complex structure made up of multiple components. However, one could argue that a boat utilizes the principles of simple machines, particularly the lever and the inclined plane. The oars can act as levers, helping to propel the boat, while the hull shape can be seen as an inclined plane that helps reduce resistance in water. Overall, a boat functions through the combination of various mechanical principles rather than being a simple machine itself.
