← HistoryWhich outcome would excessive hogging strain induce within Viking longships?
A)Keel fracture amidships✓
B)Rudder binding at pivot
C)Sail luffing instability
D)Frame separation at gunwales
💡 Explanation
Excessive hogging strain—where the ends droop relative to the center—causes keel fracture amidships because the keel experiences maximal tensile stress at mid-length; therefore, keel fracture results, rather than problems at the rudder/sail/gunwales.
