History

Which limit affected Norse longships using 'rope bridges'?

A)Cargo capacity was severely constrained
B)Freshwater supply became undrinkable
C)Wind angles made some routes impossible
D)Wave height often swamped vessels:

💡 Explanation

Rope bridges connecting ships experienced 'tension failure' when weight exceeded material limits. Because additional supplies caused excess tensile stress, the deck couldn't handle it, therefore cargo limitations imposed design constraints, rather than sea conditions or wind alone.
