Question 3 of 10

3. Question

What is the Free Surface Effect?

The influence of the ocean's surface on a ship's movement

The tendency for the ship to capsize due to water movement within the ship

The impact of wind on the surface of the ship

The ability of a ship to ride smoothly over waves

Correct

Incorrect
Question 4 of 10

4. Question

What does a positive metacentric height (GM) indicate about a ship?

The ship is unstable and likely to capsize

The ship is stable and unlikely to capsize

The ship is too heavy and needs to be unloaded

The ship is too light and needs additional ballast

Correct

Incorrect
Question 5 of 10

5. Question

What role does ballast play in maintaining a ship’s stability?

It increases the ship's speed

It lowers the center of gravity, increasing stability

It raises the center of gravity, decreasing stability

It reduces the ship's fuel efficiency

Correct

Incorrect
Question 6 of 10

6. Question

What is the principle of buoyancy in relation to ship stability?

It is the force that pushes the ship upwards in the water

It is the force that pulls the ship downwards in the water

It is the force that moves the ship forward in the water

It is the force that moves the ship backward in the water

Correct

Incorrect
Question 7 of 10

7. Question

What happens to a ship’s stability when the center of gravity moves above the metacenter?

The ship becomes more stable

The ship becomes less stable

The ship's speed increases

The ship's speed decreases

Correct

Incorrect
Question 8 of 10

8. Question

The point through which all the buoyancy forces on a vessel are considered to act is called:

Metacenter

Center of buoyancy

Center of gravity

Transverse metacenter

Correct

Incorrect
Question 9 of 10

9. Question

Why is it crucial for a ship to have a low center of gravity?

To increase the speed of the ship

To enhance the stability of the ship

To decrease the weight of the ship

To improve the maneuverability of the ship

Correct

Incorrect
Question 10 of 10

10. Question

Trim, in the context of ship stability, is defined as:

The difference in draft between the bow and the stern

The ornamental addition to the ship's exterior

The angle at which the ship's mast is set

The speed at which a ship can travel

Correct

Incorrect
