← HistoryWhich consequence increased during Viking longship rowing due to improperly synchronized strokes?
A)Increased bending moment on the hull✓
B)Greater hydrodynamic drag on the keel
C)Elevated propeller blade tip vortices
D)Diminished wave-piercing bow effectiveness
💡 Explanation
Improper synchronization during rowing adds irregular forces causing increased bending stresses due to uneven load distribution throughout the ship; therefore, bending moment on the hull increases, rather than hydrodynamic drag or bow wave, because these depend on consistent speed.
