Passage:
Cargo vessels are marked with horizontal hull lines known as load lines, which indicate the maximum safe depth a vessel may submerge when loaded with freight. Because freshwater is less dense than ocean saltwater, it offers less buoyant support to floating hulls. Consequently, ships require a greater volume of water displacement to support their weight when navigating inland waterways than when sailing across the open sea.
Statement:
Based on the passage, it is implied that a loaded cargo ship will sit deeper in the water in a freshwater river than it would in the ocean.
Cevap: Cevap
Cevap
True. The passage implies that because freshwater is less dense and provides less buoyant lift, a ship of fixed weight must submerge deeper to displace the required volume of water.
The correct response is True. The author explains that freshwater is less dense and provides less buoyant support, requiring greater displacement for the same weight. A vessel can only displace more water by having more of its hull underwater, meaning it must sit deeper in freshwater.
