Question

while crossing a river in a boat,if passengers are allowed to stand ,the boat will overturn why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Greater the radial distance, greater will be the torque on the boat and greater will be the chances of it toppling. If the passengers in the boat stand up, in effect, they raise the centre of gravity of the system and hence, increase the radial distance of the centre of gravity from the axis of rotation.
