← HistoryWhich collapse cause most plausibly afflicted Viking rope bridges crossing ravines?
A)Excessive ice accumulation loads
B)Simultaneous pedestrian resonance sheer
C)Progressive planking rot displacement✓
D)Sudden anchor stone joint cohesion
💡 Explanation
Progressive planking rot leads to stress beyond rope capacity; missing supports cause failure via load shift. Therefore, C is more applicable because the plank’s degradation slowly reduces capacity rather than sudden overloads by ice or resonance.
