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.
Why are buoyancy and plimsoll line related?
Buoyancy is the force that allows a ship to float on water, and the Plimsoll line is a reference mark on a ship's hull to indicate the maximum safe loading depth. By observing the Plimsoll line, ship operators can ensure that the ship is not overloaded, maintaining a proper balance between the weight of the ship and the buoyant force of the water to prevent sinking.
What tells how much a ship can be loaded to be safe in different water conditions?
The load line on a ship indicates the maximum weight that can be safely carried in different water conditions. This helps ensure that the ship is not overloaded and maintains stability. The load line varies depending on factors such as the ship's size, shape, and buoyancy.
What happens to the water level when the ship is loaded?
The ship becomes lower in the water. See the Plimsoll Line. ______________ The ship settles in the water at the point where the volume of the ship under the water i.e. the weight of the water it displaces is equal to the weight of the ship. ______________ I rather think I said that, though in fewer words; see the Plimsoll Line, probably the simplest invention in human history. Refer to the Merchant Shipping Act of 1875 (British Parliament).
Which certificate shows light weight of a ship?
A load line certificate indicates the maximum weight a ship can safely carry in different water conditions. It is used to ensure the ship is not overloaded, maintaining optimal stability and safety.
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 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.
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.

How high was the ship Titanic?
The Titanic was 60' from the water line to the deck.
