Q

A vessel is subjected to 'hogging' when it __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Longitudinal bending of a ship’s hull (like a beam) • Difference between hogging and sagging conditions • Where tension and compression occur (deck vs bottom) when the ship bends upward or downward

💭 Think About

• Picture the ship as a beam on waves: in hogging, is the middle lifted or are the ends lifted? In sagging, which is which? • When the middle of the ship is higher than the ends, what kind of bend is that, and which parts of the hull are in tension vs compression? • Match that bending picture to the answer choices: which option correctly describes the wave support and which parts of the structure are in tension or compression?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on whether hogging means the ship is bent upward in the middle or downward in the middle • Check which part of the hull (deck vs bottom) would be in tension and which in compression for that bend • Verify that the wave support description (where the crest is) matches the bending shape you associate with hogging
