← HistoryWhen a Viking longship tilts excessively in heavy seas, which consequence develops due to shifting cargo?
A)Reduced freeboard and deck immersion✓
B)Increased metacentric height stability
C)Decreased frictional resistance through water
D)Enhanced structural integrity of hull
💡 Explanation
Reduced freeboard happens because shifting cargo increases the heeling angle during rolling motions affecting the center of gravity. Dynamic instability results, therefore deck immersion increases, rather than stabilizing the ship, unlike increased metacentric height.
