Angle of pitch and heel for a boat snagged on the side wall

In summary: It doesn't seem like the boat would just rise by a couple of degrees and then be in danger of capsizing.In summary, a narrowboat caught on the side of a lock as the water level dropped and took on water at the stern. The boat rose by a couple of degrees at the bow when the water was empty, but sunk when the water level dropped further and the boat was weighted down by the water.

You have not answered why knowing the angle of pitch is so significant as to make it worth all this trouble.
 
<h2> What is the angle of pitch for a boat snagged on the side wall?</h2><p>The angle of pitch for a boat snagged on the side wall refers to the angle at which the boat is tilted or leaning in relation to the water's surface. This angle is usually measured in degrees and can vary depending on the size and weight of the boat, as well as the strength of the current or wind.</p><h2> How does the angle of pitch affect a boat snagged on the side wall?</h2><p>The angle of pitch can greatly impact a boat that is snagged on the side wall. If the angle is too steep, the boat may be at risk of capsizing or taking on water. On the other hand, if the angle is too shallow, the boat may be at risk of drifting away from the wall and getting further stuck or damaged.</p><h2> What is the ideal angle of pitch for a boat snagged on the side wall?</h2><p>The ideal angle of pitch for a boat snagged on the side wall will depend on various factors such as the size and weight of the boat, the strength of the current or wind, and the condition of the wall. In general, a slight angle of pitch is preferred to keep the boat stable and prevent it from drifting away or capsizing.</p><h2> What is the angle of heel for a boat snagged on the side wall?</h2><p>The angle of heel for a boat snagged on the side wall refers to the angle at which the boat is tilted or leaning in relation to its own axis. This angle is usually measured in degrees and can also vary depending on the size and weight of the boat, as well as external factors such as wind and current.</p><h2> How does the angle of heel affect a boat snagged on the side wall?</h2><p>The angle of heel can greatly impact a boat that is snagged on the side wall. If the angle is too steep, the boat may be at risk of rolling over or taking on water. If the angle is too shallow, the boat may not have enough leverage to break free from the wall. Therefore, it is important to maintain a balanced angle of heel to safely maneuver the boat off the wall.</p>
