← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a ship's propeller demand rapidly surges?
A)Propeller blade cavitation damage✓
B)Increased hull electrolytic corrosion
C)Rudder stock fatigue fracture
D)Engine shaft resonance amplification
💡 Explanation
Rapid propeller acceleration reduces local pressure, causing vapour bubble formation and collapse because this is hydrodynamic cavitation occurring at the blade surface; therefore damage risk increases, rather than general corrosion, rudder failure, or engine resonance issues.
