Compressive force refers to a type of ship stress in which the forces are acting in a direction that decreases the length of the ship. When a ship is subjected to compressive forces, it experiences a pushing or squeezing effect that causes it to shorten in length. This type of stress can occur when the ship is subjected to external pressure or when it is loaded with heavy cargo. Compressive forces are important to consider in ship design and construction to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the vessel.Rate this question:

- A.
. electro gas welding
- B.
. tungsten inert gas
- C.
Automatic welding
- D.
. metal inert gas
Correct Answer
C. Automatic weldingExplanation
Automatic welding is a type of welding where a flux-covered coated electrode is fed into the joint. This process is automated and does not require manual control, making it efficient and suitable for high-volume production. Electro gas welding, tungsten inert gas (TIG), and metal inert gas (MIG) are different types of welding processes that do not involve the use of a flux-covered coated electrode.Rate this question:

. A welding position in which various parts were place in the most convenient place?.
- A.
. downhand
- B.
. overhand
- C.
. vertical
- D.
. horizontal
Correct Answer
A. . downhandExplanation
The term "downhand" refers to a welding position where the welding is performed in a downward direction. In this position, the various parts that need to be welded are placed in the most convenient place for the welder to work on. This position is commonly used when the parts being welded are located in a horizontal or flat position. It allows for easy access and visibility, making it convenient for the welder to perform the welding task efficiently.Rate this question:

When a load is place or put on a piece of material in shipbuilding, it is called:
- A.
Strain
- B.
Bending moment
- C.
. loading
- D.
. stress
Correct Answer
D. . stressExplanation
When a load is placed on a piece of material in shipbuilding, it creates stress within the material. Stress refers to the internal forces that develop when an external load is applied to a material. In this context, the load on the material causes it to experience stress, which can result in deformation or failure if the material exceeds its strength limit. Therefore, stress is the appropriate term to describe the situation when a load is placed on a piece of material in shipbuilding.Rate this question:

. A type of weld whereby it is applied to a right angled joint and lapped joints?
- A.
. Butt weld
- B.
Fillet weld
- C.
U-weld
- D.
Tack weld
Correct Answer
B. Fillet weldExplanation
A fillet weld is a type of weld that is applied to a right angled joint and lapped joints. In this type of weld, the weld metal is deposited in a triangular shape along the joint, forming a fillet. It is commonly used to join two pieces of metal at a 90-degree angle or to join overlapping pieces of metal. The fillet weld provides strength and stability to the joint, making it suitable for various applications in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and fabrication.Rate this question:
