Which consequence results from reduced sag in a Viking rope bridge under load?

💡 Explanation

Lower sag increases tension in the ropes; this is Hooke's Law, with reduced extension. Therefore, the tensile force concentrates disproportionately at the bridge anchor points, because the force distribution shifts locally rather than remaining dispersed.
