Detailed Solution

If a man jumps out from a boat, the boat moves backwards.
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is because when passengers start disembarking, they push the boat backwards with their feet. The boat exerts an equal and opposite force on the passengers in the forward direction, which enables them to move forward. Since the bot is in water, it moves backwards due to the force exerted by the passengers. So, the boatman ties his boat to prevent it from sliding back into the water.
