10. Which term defines the upward pressure of displaced water of a vessel?
Buoyancy is the correct answer; it defines the upward force exerted by displaced water on a vessel, as described by Archimedes' principle. Deadweight refers to a ship's carrying capacity, draft and freeboard describe hull measurements, and do not relate to the upward pressure of water.
