← HistoryWhich consequence arises aboard a 9th-century Viking longship when exceeding the sail's intended yaw tolerance?
A)Rudder's excessive torsional fracture risk
B)Hull's hydrodynamic drag acutely decreases
C)Reduced axial keel-bending resistance
D)Increased likelihood of capsize event✓
💡 Explanation
A longship exceeding its yaw tolerance generates excessive heeling during maneuvers; windward lift increases, raising one side and reducing stability, leading to a higher capsize risk because the center of gravity shifts, therefore capsize risk increases rather than balanced drag or reduced strain.
