Which part of the ship sink first?
The prow; the front of the ship.
Will the titanic ever fall apart?
As the front of the Titanic went underwater, the stern of the ship rose about 19 degrees out of the water. This was too much of a strain, and the ship broke, almost in two, from top of the boat to the keel located at the base of the ship. Then, as it went under the water, the front pulling on the back section, the keel split into many pieces, with the front of the ship landing gently on the bottom. The stern coming down with a crash. Eventually rust will eat away at the RMS Titanic, and probably in another 100 years, there will be almost nothing left of the wreck on the ocean bottom.
Number of inches the water had risen in the front of the ship in 10 minutes after collision?
It is Fourteen inches
What are the naval term for the front and back of ship?
Bow or Prow is the front, Stern is the back.
Why did the titanic sink so quickly?
She had been so badly damaged by the impact of the collision with the iceberg that it has split a large hole in the starboard side.The Titanic sank so quickly because it had 16 compartments and only four could be filled with water. but five filled with water and the weight of the water caused the ship to tilt up and the weight of the water broke the ship in two and it sankADDITIONAL INFORMATIONSince the damage occurred in the front half of the ship, the watertight features prevented the incoming water from spreading evenly throughout the lower portion of the ship. As the water rushed in to the bow (front end), that made that section heavier, causing it to tilt downward into the water. This caused the stern (rear end) of the ship to rise out of the water. With gravity pushing down on the rising stern, the ship eventually splits in two, causing it to sink even faster.basicly it was filled with water as soon as it hit the icebergSome theories say that rivots were so weak that they broke off and caused many holes. The reason it sank really fast is because the water spilled over the short walls of the compartments.5 of its 16 compartments were filledThe Titanic sank because more than four of the sixteen airtight compartments were full after Titanic hit an iceberg.ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONSince the damage occurred in the front half of the ship, the watertight features prevented the incoming water from spreading evenly throughout the lower portion of the ship.

With gravity pushing down on the rising stern, the ship eventually splits in two, causing it to sink even faster.The main reason the R.M.S TITANIC sank so quickly is that it had a 220 to 245 foot long gash below the water line it and water was poring in at lest 1000 gallons per seconds at a time then the water filled a watertite campartment and it would folw over to the next and so one then then the ship brok in hafe so that is the reason the titanic sank so fastThere are compartments on the bottom of the ship that are meant to keep it afloat if one or two get punctured. An underwater portion of the berg sliced open five of these compartments simultaneously and the compartments aren't meant to deal with that kind of damage.ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONSince the damage occurred in the front half of the ship, the watertight features prevented the incoming water from spreading evenly throughout the lower portion of the ship.

What is the line called on the side of a ship?
The line at the lower part of the hull is the water line. Its location shows if a ship is riding high in the water or if it can't be seen then a ship is riding low in the water.
What is the line to where the surface water comes on the side of a ship?
water line
What is the water like at the front of a ship.?
Same as at the back of the ship.
What is the water called at the front of ship?
Possibly you mean the 'bow wave' - the frothy water thrown up at the bow (front) of the ship.
What is the line on the side of a ship called?
The waterline is an imaginary line witch a ship or boat floats. The warmer or colder the water the less or more it floats. WIKI --- Waterline
What happens if the plimsoll line is below the level of the water?
The plimsoll line is a reference mark painted on the bow of a ship. If the line is below the water level, the ship is overloaded. There are lines for when on fresh water and when on salt water.
Front part of the ship is called?
bow
What does the nose on the front of a ship do?
It cuts through the water...
What thewhite line is called on the side of a ship?
The lines drawn around the hull of a ship near the water-line is called a "Plimsoll line". This horizontal line is easily seen when the ship is empty and therefore riding higher out of the water. The more cargo loaded into ship the deeper it sinks into the water, and a ship can only be loaded with cargo etc down to this line and no furthur. Before its introduction there was no safe-loading-line on a vessel to prevent overloading by unscrupulous owners.
A ship standing in the docks extends 42 feet above the water line. the water rises in the docks at rato of 6 feet a minute after 3 minutes how far does the ship still extend above the water?
As the water rises, so does the ship, so, after 3 minutes the ship would extend 42 feet about the water line.
If an iceberg has 90 percent of its body below the water line then why doesn't a cuise ship with 90 percent of its body above the water line roll over?
because the ship is to heavy
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.
