🔍 Key Concepts

• Bernoulli’s principle – relationship between flow speed and pressure • Effect of vessel speed in shallow or restricted waters on water flow around the hull • How pressure changes under the keel affect sinkage and trim (squat)

💭 Think About

• As the ship’s speed increases in a narrow or shallow channel, what happens to the speed of water flowing between the hull and the bottom? • According to Bernoulli’s principle, when fluid speed increases, does pressure increase or decrease? How would that affect the ship’s vertical position? • Which answer choice correctly combines the effect of speed change with the correct direction of pressure change that would cause the vessel to settle deeper in the water?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you connect increased or decreased speed with the correct pressure change from Bernoulli’s principle • Ask yourself: for squat to occur, must pressure under the keel be higher or lower than normal? • Eliminate any option that links the wrong direction of pressure change with the given change in speed.
