With reference to static and dynamic forces acting on the hull, which one of the following statements is most accurate?

One correct answer

  • High static forces, for instance due to poor cargo loading, mean that the vessel is less safe when operating in heavy weather✓ Correct answer
  • Provided the maximum static loading for the hull has not been exceeded, the vessel should be safe in any weather conditions
  • Dynamic loads on the vessel are insignificant compared to the weight of cargo and ballast
  • Static forces on the vessel are insignificant compared to sea forces
Which one of the following statements is most accurate?

One correct answer

  • The highest forces due to wave action occur when the distance between wave crests is equal to half the length of the ship
  • The highest forces due to wave action occur when the distance between wave crests is equal to twice the length of the ship.
  • The highest forces due to wave action occur when the distance between wave crests is equal to one quarter of the length of the ship.
  • The highest forces due to wave action occur when the distance between wave crests is equal to the length of the ship.✓ Correct answer
For an evenly loaded built-in beam, which one of the following statements is most accurate?

One correct answer

  • The bending stress is high at mid length and at the ends✓ Correct answer
  • Bending stress is zero along the whole length
Which one of the following statements about forces on the hull is most accurate?

One correct answer

  • Shear forces on the hull will be tend to be high if all holds are evenly loaded
  • Shear forces on the hull will tend to be high if all holds are empty
  • Shear forces on the hull will tend to be low if one hold is fully loaded and the next is empty
