Which outcome occurs when Viking longship rigging rope stretches excessively during a sudden squall?

💡 Explanation

Sail rips due to overload occurs because excessive rope stretch via increased length/compliance causes redistribution of tension; therefore, stress exceeds the material limit in weaker sections of the sail, rather than impacting the rudder or the ballast.
