← HistoryWhich consequence occurs when hemp rope mooring medieval ships experiences dynamic loads?
A)Elastomeric creep drastically accumulates
B)Hydrolytic scission permanently softens it
C)Fiber abrasion serially degrades strength✓
D)Hygroscopic expansion initially stiffens
💡 Explanation
Fiber abrasion causes rope degradation because cyclical bending and surface contact generates friction which accumulates; therefore rope strength reduces gradually due to cumulative micro-damage, rather than immediate failure from creep, chemical breakdown, or expansion forces.
