Which consequence results when corrosion compromises Viking rope bridge integrity?

💡 Explanation

Increased catenary sag develops because rope strength reduces due to the corrosion mechanism induced weakening of fibrous materials; therefore bridge stability is lost, rather than immediate shear failure occurring (which depends on load and anchor details).
