Question

why do the ships and boats have a narrow front.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The more weight a boat carries, the lower it sits in the water and the more water resistance it creates. That's why boats have sharp narrow bows (to push water cleanly out of the way) and curved front edges that plane (lift them up out of the water as they move along).

Answer 2

Ships and boats have a narrow front because of the following reasons.

• The slender front provides boats and ships a streamlined body that greatly helps to drastically reduce drag(Water resistance) which in turn lets the boat move more efficiently in water.
• Streamlined body form is a natural adaptation of birds and fishes that helps them to swim/fly long distances with small loss of energy.
• Similarly, boats and ships are designed in such a way that they have a tapered or narrower front known as a bow and a broader posterior.
• This design helps in reducing the effects of drag(force of friction exerted by the fluid on a body ) and helps in gaining acceleration .
• Large body Weight creates water resistance, water in turn tends to push the object downward.
• A boat with a lot of weight is most likely to create a large drag.
• Hence, streamlined body shape also helps to load more weight without the fear of a boat sinking.
