What is the unit of measurement in calculating the ship total resistance?

resistance will be in newtons, this force is linked to the square of the velocity,
ie if you go twice as fast you' ll encounter four times the resistance

Which unit of measurement is most useful for a cargo ship's weight?
Tonnage is used as a measurement of cargo ships.
Is the force required to keep a rocket ship moving at a constant velocity in deep space equal to the ship's weight?
No. Without friction or air resistance, no force is required to keep an object moving at a constant velocity. Also, by the way, just thought we should mention: In deep space, the ship has no weight.
Why Battleships floats and does not sink?
An object will float if it has less density than water. In the case of the battleship, you have to consider the total mass - the metal of the ship, plus any contained air.
What is stability of ship?
because without stability the ship is not sea worthy and most likely to capcize. stability is the ability of a ship to keep the ship always in the upright position.
Who is the inventor of the vernier caliper?
It is not known for certain but vernier callipers were found in a Greek wreck where the ship was dated to the 6th Century BC.
What is formula for calculating the Bollard pull of a ship?
Greetings There are basically two approaches for calculating Required Bollard Pull of a Tug for towing a Barge or a Ship. The first method is to determine the frictional resistance, wave-making resistance, wind resistance, current resistance and towrope resistance for a given tow speed and sum all these up and depending on the units used convert the same to BHP, after taking an efficiency factor. The second method is to determine the total force (which includes wind resistance, wave resistance, current resistance, all at zero tow speed), that is the force required of the Tug to ensure that it can hold the Tow in a given envriornemental criteria. As per IMO Guidelines for Safe Ocean Towing, a 5 metre wave, 40 knot wind and 1 Knot current is taken. Kind regards Tony Fernandez tony.fernandez@braemarfalconer.co.in
What force makes a ship float?
water resistance
How does the bow of a ship influence water resistance?
yes

What is the measurement from the radar post of the ship to the water level of the ship?
This would depend greatly on the size of the vessel.
What is the measurement unit used to know the speed of a ship?
knotts
Why is measurement important in seafaring profession?
Because measurement is one of the keys to maintaining the safeness of the passengers and crew of the ship.

How much power required to propel a ship while resistance is neglected?
The power to propel a ship is dependent on a number of things besides resistance. You must consider the size of the ship, its weight, and its passenger's weight before you can determine the power required to move it.
Who discovered the relation ship between electic current and resistance?
ohm
What do you call the measurement of the various framework parts of the ship?
Ano nga ba?
What is a real life example on circles?
finding the measurement of a port hole on a ship
