← HistoryWhich consequence resulted when Inca engineers miscalculated materials requirements via quipu?
A)Bridge cable tensile strength lessened✓
B)Masonry terraces became environmentally unstable
C)Irrigation canal flow rates diminished
D)Ceremonial plazas became flooded valleys
💡 Explanation
Undersized fibers cause bridges to break because decreased cross-sectional area leads to reduced load capacity via stress concentration mechanism. Therefore, decreased cable strength occurs rather than effects terraces, canals, and plazas because of suspension bridge construction.
