← HistoryWhich consequence arises when tides exceed design constraints for Viking rope bridges?
A)Increased pedestrian foot traffic failure
B)Reduced material rope tensile strength
C)Complete bridge deck structural collapse✓
D)Limited navigational draft for longships
💡 Explanation
Submersion introduces hydrodynamic forces beyond design parameters; the added stress causes total structural overload because of exceeded weight limits triggering excessive cable STRAIN, therefore a collapse occurs rather than just weaker ropes, which would allow a partial sag only.
