Question 1913 Deck Safety
70% to passTransverse frames are more widely spaced on a ship that is designed with the _______________.
A
isometric system of framing
B
transverse system of framing
C
longitudinal system of framing
D
centerline system of framing
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) longitudinal system of framing. In a longitudinal system of framing, the main structural members run parallel to the ship's centerline, rather than perpendicular as in a transverse system. This allows for the transverse frames to be spaced further apart, as the longitudinal members provide the primary structural support. The other framing systems, such as isometric and centerline, do not have this characteristic of widely spaced transverse frames.
