 (e) Diagram 10.4 shows a boat
belonging to a fisherman.

A group of fisherman plan to go for

deep-sea fishing for three months. The
boat in Diagram 10.4 is not suitable for
the job and they decide to make
modification to it.
Using the appropriate physics
concepts, suggest and explain the
modifications that have to be done do
the boat. The modifications should
include the following aspects.
(i) Shape of the boat
(ii) Material used to build the boat
(iii) Type of wave used to detect
the fish
(iv) The freshness of the fish.
