if its a great white than probably yes considering its a faster swimmer and heavier thereby making it stronger but since sharks live in the ocean this will likely not happen
Its is possible, but it's usually the other way around Crocodiles eat sharks usually, usually the saltwater Crocodile which can grow up to 20 feet and have a bite force of 5000 pounds (strongest bite on the planet by far!) Generally when you think of sharks you think of Great White Sharks which grow up to 20 feet as-well if it ever came across a saltwater crocodile i doubt they would fight each other and if they were two for some reason the Crocodile would make the first move because it is an ambush predator so it would lie around and wait for the shark to go by an then bite it. Since sharks don't have bones they have cartilage the enormous bite force of the Croc would be even more devastating and it would not let go, but i doubt that's the case. So in the long run no Sharks don't eat Crocs and Crocs don't eat sharks (a few Crocs have though eaten small sharks,bull sharks) Sharks usually prey on fish, mainly seals and dolphins, no not humans, sharks are not the deadly things you see in jaws they only eat when they are hungry and not for fun or entertainment animals are smart with their food and don't waste it, also they don't like the taste of humans (no animals do). And Crocodiles usually feed on fish,buffalos, impalas, other Crocs and big cats (lions, cheetahs, etc.) Some cases giant Crocodiles like Gustave a 23 foot Nile Crocodile (salt water are rare to grow over 20 feet but Gustave is 23 feet and a Nile Croc which is amazingly rare to see) is known to eat full grown Hippos.

No, an alligator is going to perform the notorious " Death Roll" after the bite. This will still twist of or severely damage whatever part of the body the alligator has bitten.
