Question

You are steaming across the Atlantic Ocean on a large cruise ship. What happens to your weight as the ship leaves the deep waters of the North Atlantic and enters the shallow coastal waters of the United States

Answer 1

Answer:

The shallow water and proximity of the sides of the channel effects the ship navigating through the restricted waters. ... This decreases the upward pressure on the hull, making the ship sink deeper in the water than normal and slowing the vessel.
