Which risk increased for Vikings negotiating shallows when complex running rigging degraded?

💡 Explanation

Loss of integrity causes rigging failure because friction increases as fiber breaks lead to tangling; this directly impacts sail adjustments via friction, and thus maneuverability. Therefore sail mismanagement increases, rather than rudder/hull problems that predate rigging issues.

• Which risk increases when Roman concrete fortifications were built with high amounts of seawater during construction?
• Which limitation complicated longitude determination despite Harrison's chronometer during 18th-century voyages?
• Which outcome primarily resulted from repeated heating and hammering of copper during ancient bronze tool forging?
• Which navigational error grew when early 18th-century ships sailed westward lacking accurate longitude measurements?
• Which outcome reduces estimation time during triangulation when Euclidean transformations are simplified with Al-Khwarizmi's algebraic techniques during celestial positioning using planar astrolabes?
• Which outcome occurs when unbalanced sail forces generate weather helm on a Viking longship?
