What will be the length of a ship's ladder be above the water line after the tide rises by 4 ft when normally it is 11 ft above the water line?

This is a trick question. As the tide rises, the ship rises with it (it is floating).
The length of the ladder above the water line will still be 11 feet no matter how the tide changes. Only a change in the ship's weight would alter its position in the water.

Air has density. Warm air is less dense than cold air - and so it rises above colder air. Air is a gas and so expands to fill the space available to it, so it doesn't have 'length' or other dimension.
