History

Which consequence results when axial sheer on Viking longship hulls exceeds design parameters?

A)Increased drag, decreased maneuverability
B)Hull splitting, progressive structural failure
C)Deeper draft, reduced cargo capacity
D)Mast collapse, sail performance degradation

💡 Explanation

Hull splitting occurs because excessive sheer stress exceeds the material's capacity, triggering catastrophic fracture, therefore structural failure is inevitable rather than mere performance degradation, because frames lose integrity causing overall instability.
