← HistoryWhich consequence arises when early steamship builders inadequately implemented longitudinal trussing?
A)Excessive hull plate stress✓
B)Reduced boiler combustion efficiency
C)Increased propeller cavitation risk
D)Compromised rudder stock integrity
💡 Explanation
Hogging increased when vessels flexed because deficient longitudinal trussing failed to distribute bending moments along the hull. Therefore, plates experienced highly localized stress concentration, rather than evenly distributed loads; alternatives don't couple via trussing.
