← HistoryWhich outcome happens when sustained tension exceeds rope-making limits during Viking longship construction?
A)Rope strands experience plastic deformation✓
B)Sails exhibit increased aerodynamic lift
C)Hull integrity benefits from tighter binding
D)Ship weight equally distributes on water
💡 Explanation
Plastic deformation results because exceeding the Elastic Limit invokes Dislocation Glide. The individual rope fibers irreversibly deform from overload, therefore the rope extends non-elastically rather than elastically returning. Reduced integrity is the downstream risk.
