what is the "SLL"?
summer level line
summer load line

objects in salt water are more buoyant than objects in fresh water because salt water is ------ than fresh.
less viscous
denser
lighter
less dense
Buoyancy is the force that supports things in a liquid or gas. When a ship is floating in still water, the pressure of water on the boat below the waterline pushes ------, creating a buoyant force.

A warning issues by the Government of Canada
The waterline at the recommended maximum gross load capacity

True
False

True: adding more weight will make the boat safer
True: anchor chain lockers can store other chains
False: Chain lockers are designed to carry a specified weight of chain only
False: too much weight in one area will make the ship list or be uneven and risk capsize.
