← HistoryWhich effect occurs in ship's hull experiencing increased hogging during the age of sail?
A)Center keel experiences compressive stress✓
B)Hull plating buckles near the masts
C)Rudder post detaches from gudgeons
D)Caulking material between planks compresses
💡 Explanation
When a ship experiences hogging, the center of the ship rises relative to the ends because wave action exceeds buoyant force amidships, inducing longitudinal bending moment; this causes keel compression. Therefore compressive keel stress occurs, rather than buckling, rudder failure or caulking issues which relate to different localized stresses and failure mechanisms.
