What affects the level a cargo ship floats in water?
The level a cargo ship floats in water is influenced by factors such as the weight of the cargo and the ship itself, the distribution of that weight, the density of water, and the buoyancy force acting on the ship's hull. Changes in any of these factors can affect how high or low the ship sits in the water.
What is the difference between a long ship and a knarr?
The knarr was a cargo ship, the hull was wider, deeper and shorter than a longship.The Knarr was a cargo ship, the longship was a battleship
Which of these hulls is a displacement hull?
a displacement hull is like a canoe's hull... it displaces water
How do you calculate ship lightweight?
simply, ship has three tonnage weights 1-Displacement :is the actual total weight 2-light weight :ship's hull, machinery and any fixed equipments. 3-dead weight : fuel,water ballast , fresh water , cargo,passenger and stores. then Displacement = Dead Wt + Light Wt displacement can be calculated from Block coefficients at certain drafts from ship hydrostatic curves eng.

Why does the ship float with so much steel and so many people in it?
It's a mathematical equation of buoyancy and mass displacement divided by actually weight.
Does thrust help a ship to float?
No, thrust does not help a ship float. A ship floats due to the principle of buoyancy, which is a result of the displacement of water by the ship's hull. Thrust is used to propel the ship through the water.
The depth of water that a ship displaces?
The depth of water that a ship displaces is equal to the volume of water displaced by the submerged portion of the ship's hull. This displacement is crucial for determining a ship's buoyancy and ability to float. The deeper a ship sits in the water, the greater its displacement.

An observer noticed a large oil tanker parked at an oil terminal for 2 days. On the second day more of the hull of the ship was visible. Was the tanker picking up oil or delivering it?
A ship with a cargo rides lower in the water than when it has no cargo. As the cargo is unloaded, the ship rises in the water, revealing parts of the hull which had been below the water level. What the observer was looking at was a ship which was in the process of delivering its oil to the terminal.
What is a type of displacement hull?
A displacement hull is an efficient, non planing hull that moves through the water at 1.34 times the square root of the waterline length (LWL). This is not "directly" related to the designed displacement of the boat, that is, usually the weight of the boat, all additional gear, fuel, water, crew, cargo and everything else on board. Besides being efficient a displacement hull is usually more capable in rough weather and requires a relatively small inexpensive engine.
Does a PWC have a displacement hull or planing hull?
Planning hull
What is the water line on a ship?
The waterline on a ship is the level where the water meets the hull of the ship when it is in equilibrium. This line indicates the vessel's displacement and is important for determining factors such as stability and buoyancy.
