← HistoryOn Viking longships, which consequence arises from inelasticity in rope bridge suspension?
A)Increased hull stress concentration amidships✓
B)Catastrophic mast collapse during storms
C)Reduced oar leverage near gunwales
D)Enhanced sail performance in headwinds
💡 Explanation
Inelastic ropes hinder dynamic load distribution exhibiting increased hull stress; longitudinal bending concentration leads to hull failure because they cannot stretch to absorb the load surge. Higher ship-strain, rather than affecting mast support.
