chapter 4-6

What is the condition known as when the ship's CENTER is HIGHER than its fore (front) and aft (rear) ends?

• Sagging

• Hogging

• Racking

• Torsion

What is the term used to describe the distortion of the side shape of a ship due to external side force?

• Torsion

• Racking

• Hogging

• Sagging

Which factor affects ship stability by determining the position and movement of the center of buoyancy?

• Shape of the hull

• Topweight effect

• Arrangement of weights

• Position of centers of gravity and buoyancy

This tilt happens due to uneven weight distribution on the ship. Imagine if more cargo is loaded on one side of the ship than the other, causing it to lean towards the heavier side

• List

• Loll

• Sagging

• Hogging

What should be done to fix the unstable tilt position and motion of a ship known as Loll?

• Add weights to the higher part of the ship

• Remove weights from higher up in the ship

• Shift weight from the lower side to the higher side

• Add more fresh water to the storage tank

Which condition causes intense stress on hull plating and framing due to twisting of the hull?

• Sagging

• Hogging

• Racking

• Torsion

What is the term for an unstable position and motion of the ship that can lead to capsize?

• List

• Loll

• Sagging

• Hogging

What affect does adding more load to your ship apart from increasing its displacement?

• Increases its draught

• Decreases stability

• Decreases its draught

• Increases its freeboard

What is the term used to describe the condition where a ship's CENTER is LOWER than its bow and stern.

• Torsion

• Racking

• Sagging

• Hogging

How can the condition of List be fixed on a ship? in the case where the ship.is listing to the starboard side.

• add more ballast water to stbd side

• Shift weight from the port side to the starboard side

• Add an equivalent weight to the higher side

• Remove the off- center stbd load or add an equivalent weight to the lower port side
