← ScienceWhich increased risk accompanies the use of smaller rollers to move a very massive stone block, despite using more rollers?
A)Increased ground pressure; stone fracture
B)Roller bearing overheating; seizure
C)Reduced static friction; rollback
D)Elevated stress concentrations; spalling✓
💡 Explanation
Smaller rollers cause elevated stress concentrations at contact points due to decreased surface area; thus, leading to spalling. This failure results because force equivalence leads to higher pressure, therefore spalling more likely, rather than lower risks from using additional rollers.
