🔍 Key Concepts

• Forces acting on an anchored vessel (wind, current, waves) • How an anchor and its cable resist horizontal loads • Difference between vertical forces (weight/buoyancy) and horizontal forces (environmental loads)

💭 Think About

• Think about what is trying to push or drag the ship while it is at anchor. What direction are those forces mainly acting in? • When the anchor is holding, what must the tension in the cable be balancing out so the ship does not move? • Which of the choices represents forces that act mostly horizontally on the hull, rather than straight up or down?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answer choice represents external forces from wind, current, and sea rather than the ship’s own properties • Separate vertical effects (like weight and buoyancy) from horizontal effects (like drag and windage) • Confirm that, at equilibrium, the horizontal component of cable tension must match the total horizontal load trying to move the ship
