For Viking rope bridges spanning ravines, which outcome occurred with high humidity?

💡 Explanation

High humidity causes decreased tensile strength because moisture absorption leads to fiber weakening within the rope; therefore, rope failure risk increased, rather than having increased stability due to material properties of the organic materials forming the bridge.

• Which consequence results when water accumulates inside twisted fiber rope used on Viking longships?
• Which risk increased when Byzantine silk dyers used urine?
• Which constraint most increased the Roman roads' lifespan?
• Which outcome arose after innovations altered the properties used for Byzantine silk armor laminates under stress?
• Which consequence results when early sextant users misidentified stars?
• Which outcome occurs when a medieval crossbow's tiller experiences prolonged bending during the "spanning" process?
