History

When 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.
