Aux 2 Unit 16 Q1

1 / 9

What causes transverse stress on a vessel when it is being acted on by waves?

D) Mooring lines under tension

A) Constant water temperature

B) Wave impact and varying water pressure along the hull

C) Cargo shifting

2 / 9

What is the cause of transverse stress when a vessel is drydocked?

A) The weight of the cargo

C) The vessel's weight being supported by keel blocks and side supports

B) The pressure from water in the dock

D) Wind pressure

3 / 9

Which part of the ship helps resist transverse stress by increasing the vessel’s overall rigidity?

D) Lifeboats

C) The rudder

A) The propeller

B) Deck beams and transverse bulkheads

4 / 9

What structural feature of a vessel primarily resists transverse stress?

B) Longitudinal girders only

C) Transverse bulkheads and frames

D) The mast

A) The ship's paint coating

5 / 9

How do longitudinal stringers assist in resisting transverse stresses?

B) By acting as barriers against water ingress

C) By providing lateral support to reduce flexing of the hull

A) By distributing vertical loads evenly

D) By increasing the speed of the vessel

6 / 9

Why are deck beams important in resisting transverse stresses?

B) They reduce the vessel's weight

A) They enhance propulsion efficiency

D) They act as storage compartments

C) They provide horizontal support and prevent deck deformation

7 / 9

Where is transverse stress at its maximum when a vessel is drydocked?

C) At the points where the keel blocks and side supports contact the hull

A) On the upper deck

B) Along the sides of the hull

D) At the bow only

8 / 9

What is the primary cause of transverse stress when a vessel is floating in still water?

C) The vessel's own weight acting on the hull

D) Vibrations from the engine

B) External wave pressure

A) Uneven cargo distribution

9 / 9

Where is transverse stress typically at its maximum when a vessel is floating in still water?

A) Near the bow

D) On the upper deck only

B) At the midship section

C) Near the stern
