← HistoryWhich consequence can result due to increased vibrational TRANSFER along a historic rope bridge?
A)Resonance causing structural collapse✓
B)Increased cable tensile strength
C)Damping oscillation of anchor points
D)Conversion to catenary arch tension
💡 Explanation
Resonance can lead to structural collapse, because synchronized vibrations match the bridge's natural frequency, causing massive amplitude increases of oscillation through vibration TRANSFER. Therefore, collapse is a critical risk, rather than strength increase or damping, especially under external forces causing vibration.
