Q

When a ship makes a turn what happens to the pivot point?

A

The pressure pushes the pivot point closer to amidships.

21
Q

What does the pressure aft of the pivot point do to the drift angle?

A

Limits the drift angle.

22
Q

On a directionally stable ship what happens to the turn when the rudder is placed amidships?

A

The turn will stop or slow down.

23
Q

Two tugs push on a ship under headway (fwd motion) which tug has more leverage?

A

The aft tug and creates rotational motion.

24
Q

True / False
As long as the center of wind pressure (P) is not above the Center of Underwater Resistance the wind will turn the ship.

A

True

25
Q

How can transverse winder force be counteracted when forward momentum is causing an angle with intended course?

A

Use transverse force aft - rudder force.
Pg. 20

26
Q

True / False
Rudder force has no effective leverage when backing.

A

True
Pg. 20

27
Q

True / False
When making Steinway the bow has a tendency to seek the wind.

A

False, the stern seeks the wind.
Pg. 20

28
Q

Transverse thrust of a right hand propeller can easily be overcome by a strong wind on the starboard bow.

A

True
Pg. 20

29
Q

When making a turn underway lateral resistance forward that develops on the exposed bow as the swing sets in acts in the ________ direction as the transverse component of rudder force.

A

Opposite direction .

Q

When the ship is dead in the water what causes it to resist acceleration?

A

Q

The rudder works at max leverage when ____________.

A
