Ship measurements

Archimedes

Archimedes of Syracuse was an Ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor from the ancient city of Syracuse in Sicily.

See Displacement (ship) and Archimedes

Archimedes' principle (also spelled Archimedes's principle) states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.

See Displacement (ship) and Archimedes' principle

Displacement (fluid)

In fluid mechanics, displacement occurs when an object is largely immersed in a fluid, pushing it out of the way and taking its place.

See Displacement (ship) and Displacement (fluid)

Draft (hull)

The draft or draught of a ship is a determined depth of the vessel below the waterline, measured vertically to its hull's lowest—its propellers, or keel, or other reference point. Displacement (ship) and draft (hull) are nautical terminology and ship measurements.

See Displacement (ship) and Draft (hull)

Dunnage

Dunnage is inexpensive or waste material used to load and secure cargo during transportation; more loosely, it refers to miscellaneous baggage, brought along during travel. Displacement (ship) and Dunnage are nautical terminology.

See Displacement (ship) and Dunnage

Fluid dynamics

In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids—liquids and gases.

See Displacement (ship) and Fluid dynamics

Gross tonnage

Gross tonnage (GT, G.T. or gt) is a nonlinear measure of a ship's overall internal volume. Displacement (ship) and Gross tonnage are nautical terminology, ship measurements and shipbuilding.

See Displacement (ship) and Gross tonnage

Hull (watercraft)

A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, submarine, or flying boat. Displacement (ship) and hull (watercraft) are ship measurements and shipbuilding.

See Displacement (ship) and Hull (watercraft)

Hydrostatics

Fluid statics or hydrostatics is the branch of fluid mechanics that studies fluids at hydrostatic equilibrium and "the pressure in a fluid or exerted by a fluid on an immersed body".

See Displacement (ship) and Hydrostatics

Load line (watercraft)

The load line, also known as Plimsoll line, indicates the legal limit to which a ship may be loaded for specific water types and temperatures in order to safely maintain buoyancy, particularly with regard to the hazard of waves that may arise. Displacement (ship) and load line (watercraft) are ship measurements.

See Displacement (ship) and Load line (watercraft)

Long ton

The long ton, also known as the imperial ton or displacement ton,Dictionary.com - "a unit for measuring the displacement of a vessel, equal to a long ton of 2240 pounds (about 1016 kg) or 35 cu.

See Displacement (ship) and Long ton

Naval architecture

Naval architecture, or naval engineering, is an engineering discipline incorporating elements of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety engineering as applied to the engineering design process, shipbuilding, maintenance, and operation of marine vessels and structures. Displacement (ship) and naval architecture are nautical terminology and shipbuilding.

See Displacement (ship) and Naval architecture

Net tonnage

Net tonnage (NT, N.T. or nt) is a dimensionless index calculated from the total moulded volume of the ship's cargo spaces by using a mathematical formula. Displacement (ship) and Net tonnage are nautical terminology, ship measurements and shipbuilding.

See Displacement (ship) and Net tonnage

Port and starboard

Port and starboard are nautical terms for watercraft, aircraft and spacecraft, referring respectively to the left and right sides of the vessel, when aboard and facing the bow (front). Displacement (ship) and Port and starboard are nautical terminology.

See Displacement (ship) and Port and starboard

Ship classification society

A ship classification society or ship classification organisation is a non-governmental organization that establishes and maintains technical standards for the construction and operation of ships and offshore structures.

See Displacement (ship) and Ship classification society

Slide rule

A slide rule is a hand-operated mechanical calculator consisting of slidable rulers for evaluating mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, exponents, roots, logarithms, and trigonometry.

See Displacement (ship) and Slide rule

Tonnage

Tonnage is a measure of the capacity of a ship, and is commonly used to assess fees on commercial shipping. Displacement (ship) and Tonnage are nautical terminology and ship measurements.

See Displacement (ship) and Tonnage

Tonne

The tonne (or; symbol: t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms.

See Displacement (ship) and Tonne

Washington Naval Treaty

The Washington Naval Treaty, also known as the Five-Power Treaty, was a treaty signed during 1922 among the major Allies of World War I, which agreed to prevent an arms race by limiting naval construction.

See Displacement (ship) and Washington Naval Treaty

Weight

In science and engineering, the weight of an object, is the force acting on the object due to acceleration of gravity.
