Question 1744 Deck Safety
70% to passWhat is NOT a motion of the vessel?
A
Trim
B
Pitch
C
Roll
D
Yaw
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Trim. Trim is not a motion of the vessel, but rather the longitudinal inclination of a ship's hull relative to the waterline. Pitch, roll, and yaw are the three primary motions of a vessel: - Pitch is the up-and-down motion of the bow and stern. - Roll is the side-to-side motion of the vessel. - Yaw is the side-to-side motion of the bow and stern. Trim, on the other hand, refers to the fore-and-aft orientation of the vessel, and is not considered one of the primary motions.
