Why are heavy loads kept at the bottom of a ship or boat?
In the ship or boat the reason why a heavy load is kept at the bottom is to maintain a low center of gravity. This will keep the ship or boat from toppling over.
What are flat boats?
A Flat Boat is a boat with a flat bottom used for transporting heavy loads on inlend waters.
Was the clermont the first steam boat capable of carrying heavy loads up stream?
No it was the new orleans
What heavy object is used to stop a boat from drifting?
An anchor is used to stop a boat from drifting. It is a heavy object that is dropped to the bottom of the water to hold the boat in place.
What is an outrigger used for?
An outrigger is used to provide stability to a boat or canoe, especially in rough waters or when carrying heavy loads. It helps prevent the vessel from tipping over by extending beyond the side of the boat and increasing its buoyancy and balance. Outriggers are commonly used in traditional Polynesian or Pacific Islander watercraft.
How do boats carry heavy things?
Boats carry heavy loads through a combination of buoyancy, design, and structural integrity. The hull of a boat is shaped to displace water equal to the weight of the cargo, allowing it to float despite its load. Additionally, boats are built with strong materials and reinforced structures to withstand the stresses of carrying heavy items. Proper weight distribution and ballast also help maintain stability and prevent capsizing.
How does styrofoam help a boat float?
Styrofoam is lightweight and contains a lot of air pockets, which provide buoyancy when placed under water. This buoyancy helps to keep the boat afloat even when it's carrying a heavy load.
What is the title of the person who loads the boat?
A porter.
A boat carrying four men turned over and sank to the bottom of the lake yet not a single man got wet?
My guess is that they ALL got wet!
What are the loads that would affect the structure of a sail boat?
Stupid loads would affect a structure!
What is carrying boat across land to water?
Portage is the act of carrying the cargo and the boat from one place, such as the bottom of rapids, to another place, such as the top of rapids. A Haul over is a smooth place on an isthmus where a boat is dragged across land between bodies of water.
What would happen to a boat's keel in very shallow water?
In very shallow water, a boat's keel can come into direct contact with the bottom, which may lead to grounding or getting stuck. This can damage the keel or the hull, especially if the boat is heavy or if the bottom is rocky. Additionally, the boat's stability and maneuverability can be compromised, making it difficult to navigate. If the keel is damaged, it may also affect the boat's performance in deeper waters.
