🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between weight of vessel vs. volume of vessel vs. carrying capacity • Meaning of a long ton of seawater in traditional naval architecture • How Archimedes’ principle applies to a ship floating in water

💭 Think About

• Which choice talks about how much water is actually pushed aside (or replaced) by the underwater volume of the hull? • Which options are describing capacities measured in tons or cubic feet that are used for cargo and fees, rather than the actual weight of water? • Think about whether displacement is about the vessel’s shape under water or about its cargo-carrying ability.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option mentions water displaced rather than cargo or internal space • Check which options are about capacity/tonnage measurements for commerce instead of basic floating physics • Recall that displacement is expressed as a weight, but it’s based on the amount of water pushed aside by the hull
