← HistoryWhen a historic wooden ship experiences hogging from wave action, which mechanism increases stress amidships?
A)Longitudinal bending moment✓
B)Transverse shear stress
C)Hydrostatic compression force
D)Torsional twisting moment
💡 Explanation
Hogging increases Longitudinal bending moment because the ship's ends are supported by crests, therefore the hull experiences significant bending along its length, rather than compression or torsion; shear stress is a separate effect.
