Modern medium speed diesel engines normally have relatively short crankshafts with large diameter pins. How do these design features affect the reliability of crankshaft deflection readings?
The design of the crankshaft has very little effect on the readings when compared to the inaccuracies that arise due to human error.
Very short, stiff crankshafts do not deflect even when the engine is running so the readings are unaffected.
They increase the risk of inaccurate readings due to the 'stiff' shaft having very small natural sag which may therefore result in 'floating journals' in the static condition.
They reduce the risk of inaccurate readings as the large diameter pins result in a relatively heavy shaft which will reduce the risk of 'floating journals'.

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
