History

Which outcome compromises a Viking longship during littoral navigation because repeated beaching?

A)Induced mechanical hull hogging
B)Decline weathercock vane accuracy
C)Rope bridge collapse likelihood
D)Sails experience increased delamination

💡 Explanation

Hull hogging results because repeated grounding induces uneven stress along the keel, creating differential bending. This mechanism yields structural weakness; therefore hogging increases the risk of structural failure rather than sail delamination due to weather; a longship relies on hull integrity.
