← HistoryWhich limit influenced Viking dragonships’ open sea capability via rope's contribution?
A)Peak gravitational wave interference
B)Rope's ultimate tensile strength✓
C)Maximum sailcloth weave density
D)Hull's waterline friction coefficient
💡 Explanation
Ship ropes endured saline action and high dynamic sailing loads; because surpassing the rope's ultimate tensile strength led to structural failures. Therefore, rope's strength determined dragonship endurance and range, rather than gravitational interference or drag issues.
