Stability- SQA Exam 2025/2026 Exam
Questions and Verified Answers |
Already Graded A+
Mass - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Mass is the fundamental measure of the quantity of
matter in a body and is expressed in kilograms or tonnes.
Volume - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the amount of space, measured in cubic units,
that an object or substance occupies. Expressed in Cubic metres
Density - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The density of any given substance is its mass
per unit volume.
Expressed in tonnes per cubic metre
Relative Density - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The ratio of the density of any substance
to the density of some other substance taken as standard. Water being he
standard for liquids.
, Archimedes principle - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔States that when a body is fully or
partially immersed in a liquid, it experiences an upthrust (apparent loss of
mass termed buoyancy force), equal to the mass of liquid displaced.
FWA - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Number of millimetres by which the mean draught
changes when a ship passes from salt water to fresh water when the ship
is loaded to summer displacement.
DWA - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Number of millimetres by which the mean draught
changes when a ship passes from salt water to dock water when the ship is
loaded to summer displacement.
TPC (tonnes per centimetre immersion) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The TPC for any
given draught is the weight which must be loaded or discharged to change
the ships mean draught by 1cm.
LBP (length between perpendiculars) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Is the horizontal
distance between the forward and after perpendiculars. It is this length that
is considered when conducting trim calculations.
CW (coefficient of fineness of the water-plane area) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Is
defined as the ratio of the ships water-plane area to the area of a rectangle
having the same length and breadth of the ship at the waterline in question
