← HistoryWhich constraint critically limited the size of Viking longships, despite advanced construction, during transatlantic voyages?
A)Hull's transverse bending moment limited size✓
B)Sailcloth availability restricted practical dimensions
C)Rope-making complexity capped sparcraft mass
D)Navigation tool complexity limited ship size
💡 Explanation
A longship`s hull was subject to transverse bending moment because its length created significant stress; therefore, excessive length risked structural failure rather than stability issues, sail availability, or navigation constraints becoming the limiting factors on overall size.
