← HistoryWhich consequence arises during wooden warship construction when planking timbers exceed Young's modulus limits during hull bending?
A)Rudder loses maneuverability
B)Timber fracture amplifies stress✓
C)Sails become inextensible
D)Chronometers start desynchronizing
💡 Explanation
Excessive bending beyond timber's yield strength leads to timber fracture, increasing material stress because exceeding Young's modulus induces permanent deformation via plastic deformation rather than elastic deformation. Therefore, structural integrity declines rather than sail or timer problems emerging.
