🔍 Key Concepts

• Propeller pitch and what it describes • Difference between ship motion terms: advance, transfer, head reach • Meaning of no slip for a propeller

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which term is linked directly to the design of the propeller itself, not the ship’s path when turning or stopping? • Consider how a screw (like a wood screw) moves into wood with each full turn—what is that distance per turn called? • Which of the options is commonly expressed in units like feet per revolution or meters per revolution?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which terms (advance, transfer, head reach) are associated with turning circle/ship maneuvering rather than propeller design • Identify which option is defined as distance per one propeller revolution under ideal conditions (no slip) • Confirm that no slip means the ship would move exactly the same distance that the propeller “screws” through the water per revolution
