← HistoryWhich instability arises on a wooden sailing ship when cargo shifts rapidly during a sharp turn?
A)List increases from heeling moment✓
B)Rudder lock from hydrodynamic forces
C)Hull breach from shear stress
D)Mast failure from torsional strain
💡 Explanation
When cargo shifts during a sharp turn, a heeling moment is created due to the mass moving transversely, causing an increase in the ship's list. Therefore, the list significantly increases, rather than rudder lock, hull breach or mast failure, conditions needing different mechanics like hydrodynamic lock, exceeding shear strength, or surpassing torsional limits.
