History

Which 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.
