Principles Of Ship Operation

Buoyancy Support: According to Archimedes' principle, the weight of the water displaced by the ship equals the total weight of the ship itself (including cargo, personnel, etc.), thereby allowing it to float.

Generation of Propulsive Force: Through propulsion devices (such as propellers, water jets, etc.), energy is converted into forward thrust, pushing the ship forward.

Course Control: Relies on the rudder or adjustable direction propellers to change the direction of water flow, achieving steering and course maintenance.
