A large vessel develops a sudden sheer when it stops moving through the water, having been steaming through a shallow water channel for several miles. The sheer may be strong and unexpected and is due to what reason?
The shallow water reduces the effectiveness of the rudder and when the vessel stops any applied rudder will become suddenly more effective.
The vessel stopping shifts the pivot point forward and creates a turning moment and results in the ship swinging towards the bank.
The hydrodynamic interaction effects from the banks of the shallow water channel acts on the stern causing the vessel to sheer strongly
The large volume of water dragged behind the vessel continues to move forward and cause a strong turning moment on the stern of the vessel

Some main propulsion medium speed engine installations operate with a hydraulic oil type fluid coupling between the engine and the reduction gearbox instead of a mechanical clutch. With this type of installation a separate flexible coupling is not normally fitted. Why is a separate flexible coupling usually omitted from this type of installation?
There is insufficient room to fit a flexible coupling between the engine and gearbox when a fluid coupling is fitted.
There are no engine torque variations in the drive when a fluid coupling is used so a flexible coupling is not required.
The hydraulic fluid in the coupling isolates the gearbox from the engine vibrations.
There is natural slippage between the drive and driven parts of the fluid coupling and a flexible coupling would prevent this slippage.
