Yes. Oars are like levers. As Archimedes said: "Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world." It may not be the best way to drive a sailboat (why not use the sails?), but in an emergency, or where there is no wind, it may be the only alternative to an outboard motor. Many sailboats are equiped with oars or paddles for emergencies.

A pull of 2500 lb is required to move a boudler 6 in what is the heat equivatent of the work performed?

The work done to move the boulder is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance moved, which gives 2500 lb * 6 in = 15000 lb-in. To convert this to heat energy, we need to consider the heat equivalent. If we assume 1 lb-in is equal to 0.00029256 kWh, then the heat equivalent of the work performed would be 15000 lb-in * 0.00029256 kWh = 4.39 kWh.
