What else can I help you with?
Why are there different load lines for the seasons?
In colder weather the density of water increases slightly. The change is enough that an object the size of a ship can be loaded with more and still not be heavy enough to overload the ship. In summer the opposite occur.
Does a sunken ship sitting on the ocean floor have a buoyant force on it?
Yes, a sunken ship on the ocean floor experiences a buoyant force pushing up on it that is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the ship. This buoyant force helps to keep the ship in place on the ocean floor despite its weight.
Why ship doenot sink in ocean?
Ships don't sink in the ocean because the air pressure pushes the ship upward and keeps it buoyant-------------------------------- Ships don't sink because the overall density of the ship is lower than the density of the salt water and it displaces its weight's equivalent of water using only a portion of the ship's volume.
How does forcing air into the ballast tanks cause the ship to rise?
Action and reaction , the ship is lighter from the discharged ballast- so it will float upwards with buoyancy. One assumes you are talking about submarines. Some surface ships have trim tanks to compensate for cargo compartments not being balanced- etc. but this is not a submergence device.
How did ship rock form?
Ship Rock is a volcanic rock formation that formed around 27 million years ago from the remains of a volcano that eroded over time. The rock is a volcanic neck or "volcanic plug" that remains after the surrounding rock has eroded away, leaving a distinct and prominent formation.
What will be the effect of displaced water if load is added into ship float in ocean?
Adding load to a ship will displace more water, causing the ship to sink deeper into the ocean. The buoyant force acting on the ship will increase to counteract the added load, keeping the ship afloat at a new equilibrium position.
How do you get to Nunavut?
You can get to Nunavut by an airplane, boat, ship during the summer or by a snowmobile during the winter.
Why should there be more than one plimsoll line?
There is ONLY one legal Plimsoll Line, the International load line, which is a marking on a ship's side showing the limit of legal submersion when loaded with cargo under various sea conditions. However, depending on the temperature and salinity of the water on which the ship is floating the position of this line (which represents the weight of water displaced by the hull) will vary. So the line is graduated into:- The American Bureau of Shipping (AB) Line/ Summer Load line (S) The Tropical Freshwater (TF) line The freshwater Load line (F) The tropical Zones load line (T) The Winter Load Line (W) Winter North Atlantic Load Line (WNA) Thus if a ship were loaded to the TF line in tropical Freshwater then moved to the North Atlantic in winter with the same cargo loaded, it should float at the correct line in both conditions.
Why are there different load lines for the seasons?
In colder weather the density of water increases slightly. The change is enough that an object the size of a ship can be loaded with more and still not be heavy enough to overload the ship. In summer the opposite occur.
Which ship displaces more water 1 loaded with a cargo of corks which float or a empty one?
If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.
How long does it take to sail from canary Islands to Russia?
Depends how, when and which way you go. Are we talking cruise ship in summer or dinghy in winter?
How is buoyancy applied in navigation?
Buoyancy has more to do with how you load a ship than how you would navigate it.
How many metric tons in a ship load?
That depends on the size of the ship.
How can you load a ship?
use a crane at a dock
Will a ship ride higher in inland freshwater lake or in the ocean?
Ocean. The ship will ride higher in salt water than fresh in water. There is a load line on the side of ships to tell you how deep you can load the ship. You can load the ship deeper if it is in fresh water because it will come up when it gets to the ocean.
How many metric ton of fertilizers are there in a ship load?
The amount of metric tons of fertilizers in a ship load can vary widely depending on the size of the ship and the specific type of fertilizer being transported. A typical ship load may range from thousands to tens of thousands of metric tons of fertilizers.
What are other names used for waterline?
The Plimsoll Line, a possible name, is the line on a ship when the water level is at on the hull of the ship. It is more commonly known as the International Load Line.
