Which structural consequence occurred during the construction of the Vasa ship due to its tall and narrow design?

💡 Explanation

During Vasa's construction, the tall, narrow design raised the center of gravity, decreasing metacentric height; therefore, insufficient restoring torque resulted when the ship heeled, causing a significant risk of capsize instability. Therefore capsize risk increased, rather than keel flexing, recoil absorption, or water absorption which relate to different hull characteristics.
