Which outcome likely occurred when a Viking longship encountered a sudden storm and wave load exceeded the ropes' design limits?

💡 Explanation

Longitudinal hogging results, because excessive wave loading induces bending *stress concentration* at hull joints exceeding rope fastening capacity; therefore, separating segments is more likely, rather than sail/oar effects when hull integrity fails.
