Q

Transverse oscillating rotation about the longitudinal axis of a vessel is known as __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Six degrees of freedom in ship motion (surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, yaw) • Difference between rotational motions and translational (side-to-side/fore-and-aft) motions • Meaning of longitudinal axis versus transverse axis of a vessel

💭 Think About

• Which motions are rotations around one of the ship’s axes, and which are straight-line (linear) movements? • If the motion is around the longitudinal axis (bow to stern), does the ship move up/down, side-to-side, or rotate from side to side? • Match each choice to its standard definition in naval architecture: which one describes the ship rocking from side to side around its length?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which axis is the longitudinal axis (bow to stern) and which motion is a rotation about that axis • Eliminate any options that are linear motions instead of rotational motions • Confirm the standard list: surge, sway, heave (linear) vs. roll, pitch, yaw (rotational) and match accordingly
