Passage: Cargo vessels entering a municipal lock chamber must secure their lines to floating mooring bits rather than fixed wall bollards during chamber drainage. As water is pumped out of the chamber to lower the ship to sea level, the floating bits descend along vertical wall tracks at the exact same rate as the vessel. If lines are tied to fixed bollards instead, the dropping vessel exerts extreme downward tension on the static ropes, causing them to snap.
Statement: Based on the passage, floating mooring bits prevent line breakage because they descend simultaneously with the dropping ship.
Cevap: Cevap
Cevap
True. The statement is logically supported because the floating mooring bits descend at the identical rate of the lowering vessel, preventing the vertical tension that snaps lines attached to fixed points.
The statement is a direct and sound logical deduction from the passage: because floating mooring bits descend at the exact same rate as the ship, they maintain a constant relative position and eliminate the severe downward tension that causes lines tied to fixed bollards to snap.
