Which consequence arises when tides exceed design constraints for Viking rope bridges?

💡 Explanation

Submersion introduces hydrodynamic forces beyond design parameters; the added stress causes total structural overload because of exceeded weight limits triggering excessive cable STRAIN, therefore a collapse occurs rather than just weaker ropes, which would allow a partial sag only.
