History

Which consequence results when a Viking longship exceeds its sailcloth's torque limit?

A)Excessive hull ballast requirement
B)Decreased oar propulsion efficiency
C)Catastrophic sail rupture occurs
D)Rudder loses directional control

💡 Explanation

Delamination leads to sail failure because exceeding torque on aged linen causes interlaminar shear stress. This stress exceeds the sailcloth's cohesive strength; therefore, tearing occurs rather than controlled deformation observed below this limit.
