History

On Viking longships, which consequence arises from inelasticity in rope bridge suspension?

A)Increased hull stress concentration amidships
B)Catastrophic mast collapse during storms
C)Reduced oar leverage near gunwales
D)Enhanced sail performance in headwinds

💡 Explanation

Inelastic ropes hinder dynamic load distribution exhibiting increased hull stress; longitudinal bending concentration leads to hull failure because they cannot stretch to absorb the load surge. Higher ship-strain, rather than affecting mast support.
