Water Resistance - Results Tables

The investigation into the impact of boat size on water resistance is meticulously recorded in a series of results tables. Each table lists various boat shapes, with corresponding measurements of water resistance in Newtons (N) taken over three attempts. The average resistance is then calculated to provide a clear comparison between the different designs. Boat shapes such as wide, narrow, sharp point, shallow point, wide wedge, and narrow wedge are all examined to determine how their size affects the water resistance they experience.

Another aspect of the study focuses on submarine shapes and their ability to dive quickly. A comparative table showcases matchups between two different submarine shapes, with one being declared the winner in terms of diving speed. Shapes compared include large versus small discs, arrowhead against long tube, bullet versus short tube, large cube against small cube, and large sphere versus small sphere. The outcomes of these comparisons are recorded, revealing which submarine shape is superior in speed when it comes to diving. This data provides valuable insights into the design considerations for marine vehicles in relation to their performance in water.
