What is the relationship between the weight of a viking boat and the water displacement?
the more weight, the more water displacement.
What will make a boat hold weight?
How much weight a boat will hold depends on the volume of the boat. This is called displacement. displacement is exactly equal to the weight of the water the boat displaces, that is the boat makes a hole in the water. The volume of that hole times the weight of water (64 lbs for salt water, 62.4 for fresh water) - displacement. The volume of water displaces is equal to the volume of the boat.
Difference between displacement and planning hull?
A displacement hull always displaces an amount of water equal to the weight of the boat. A planing hull at a certain speed, will begin PLANING and rise partly out of the water, forced up by its v shaped hull, and only be displacing an amount of water equal to partial weight of the boat. A large ship, a tugboat, a barge, or a sailboat are displacement hulls. A speedboat or a jetski are planing hulls.
What does it mean when displacement is talked about in sailboats?
Simply put, the displacement of any boat is the amount of water the hull displaces when it floats. The weight of the water being displaced will be equal to the weight of the boat...assuming it's still floating, that is.
What makes a bost float?
I assume you meant "BOAT"A boat floats because it displaces water... put a boat in the water and it sinks into the surface of the water...the part of the boat beneath water level pushes water out of the way.When the weight of the water pushed out of the way is the same as the weight of the boat, the boat can sink no further.Tho made of steel or other heavy materials, naval architects calculate displacement ( the weight of water the ship's hull pushes out of the way ) as long as the ship weighs Less than the water it displaces, it will safely float.The difference between the weight of the boat and the weight of water it displaces will determine how much Cargo a boat can carry.
Weight difference between a 150hp mercury boat motor and a 200 hp boat motor?
I would say 50 H.P.
Why does a sailboat float?
A sailboat will have positive buoyancy if the weight of the boat is less than the weight of the water it takes the place of. The weight of the water that is being occupied by the hull is displacement.
What is the difference between a swinging cradle and a tilting boat trailer?
there is no difference
How does the shape of the boat effect it to sink or float?
The science is called "displacement". If the shape of the boat allows the amount of the boat in the water to be less weight than the water it displaces it will float. If the amount of the boat in the water weighs more than the water it displaces it will sink.
