← HistoryDuring historical Viking longship construction, which outcome occurred if rope fibers within a structural joint experienced overloading?
A)Accelerated hull structural disintegration✓
B)Improved sail aerodynamic performance
C)Enhanced resistance to marine biofouling
D)Reduced vulnerability to thermal expansion
💡 Explanation
Rope, used in joints, held timbers together; exceeding its tensile strength caused catastrophic Unraveling because the twisted fibers could no longer provide clamping force, therefore structural integrity degrades rather than other changes to the ship.
