← HistoryWhich risk increased if early longship hulls experienced hogging?
A)Transverse frame cracking worsens✓
B)Rudder effectiveness improves quickly
C)Sail collapse accelerates slowly
D)Oar synchronization became simpler
💡 Explanation
Increased hogging strains the longitudinal joints, causing frame cracking due to reduced overall Stiffness because this stress concentration overcomes structural margins; therefore frame cracking propagation worsens along the hull sections, rather than improved steering, sail functionality increments or rowing effectiveness assistance.
