← HistoryWhich outcome predictably occurs when exceeding the Plimsoll Line on 19th-century merchant ships?
A)Keel stress significantly increases✓
B)Rudder effectiveness progressively drops
C)Boiler efficiency dramatically decreases
D)Sail deployment becomes inoperable
💡 Explanation
Keel stress increases dangerously because exceeding the Plimsoll Line lowers the relative buoyancy, causing a bending moment along the hull section, therefore hull failure becomes more likely, rather than rudder issues or problems elsewhere with ships.
