← HistoryDuring a siege, which outcome occurs when enemy forces target a Viking rope bridge?
A)Bridge collapses due to tensile failure✓
B)Rapid onset of material corrosion
C)Spontaneous combustion from friction
D)Resonance causing bridge stabilization
💡 Explanation
The targeted cutting of ropes will lead to bridge collapse due to exceeding the ultimate tensile strength causing tensile failure of the ropes, because that bridge component no longer possessing sufficient strength and giving way is a lower energy path; therefore leading tension support loss rather than a chemical or resonance effect.
