History

During 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.
