← HistoryWhich consequence results from cyclical hogging in wooden caravels?
A)Reduced rudder functionality occurs
B)Increased risk of plank separation✓
C)Compromised ballast shift stability
D)Impaired accurate sextant measurements
💡 Explanation
Cyclical hogging applies periodic bending stress; elastic deformation exceeds original hull strength, therefore adhesive and frictional INTERLOCKING degrade, leading to increased plank separation rather than rudder issues, because the stress concentration focuses midline.
