What is the size of the canoe?

The size of the canoe is 8 cubic meters. The rocking boat is small in size, and its working principle is that the forces between objects are mutual. Shake the paddle in the water to give the water a backward force; Because the forces between objects are mutual, the water also gives the paddle a forward force, and the boat and the paddle have become a whole, so the boat is moving forward. When rowing, the inclination of the paddle controls the direction of the boat.

Introduction of rocking boat

The operation mode of the paddle is extremely reasonable. It uses the lever principle. As long as a small force is applied to the handshake end of the paddle and shaken at a small angle, and with the help of the paddle rope, a large force can be generated at the water inlet end of the paddle to increase its swing amplitude. If you change the angle of the paddle and pull it, it can also act as a rudder to steer.

In boatman's terminology, "pull" and "push" refer to pulling and pushing the paddle sideways to make the boat turn left and right.

Paddle boats are easy to use. It used to be widely used in water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was a means of transportation in rivers. Now, you can still see it. In some tourist attractions in the south of the Yangtze River, paddle boats are used to carry tourists for water tours.
