Q

Which item are the terms "pintle" and "gudgeon" associated with?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ship construction terminology related to rudders and hinges • How a rudder is attached to the stern post or skeg • Difference between steering machinery (engines, gears) and the fittings that let something pivot in the water

💭 Think About

• Think about where you might find small hinge‑like fittings that let something swing or pivot on a vertical axis—what part of the ship does that? • Which option names a part that actually needs paired, interlocking fittings rather than a single solid foundation or motor? • Eliminate the choices that are large self‑contained machines versus simple mechanical joints or bearings.

✅ Before You Answer

• Ask yourself which item typically has hinge joints exposed to the sea, allowing it to swing side to side. • Verify which option involves vertical pins and sockets working together as a pair. • Confirm that the item you pick is not a powered machine, but instead a structural fitting that supports a moving part.
