History

Which consequence arises when humidity warps a wooden sextant's limb?

A)Erroneous elevation angle measurements
B)Increased structural bending moment
C)Disrupted pendulum clock synchronization
D)Thermally induced mirror delamination

💡 Explanation

Incorrect angle measurement occurs because hygroscopic expansion induces distortion. This changes the arc length subtended by angular divisions, which alters the angular correspondence due to changes in hygro 材料, therefore, imprecise celestial navigation results, rather than any clock or thermomechanical issues.
