← HistoryWhich consequence results when quipu record errors impact Inca bridge maintenance?
A)Decking strength calculation is inaccurate
B)Anchorage cable thickness is misjudged✓
C)Counterweight stone volume is underestimated
D)Handrail rope fiber twist is incorrect
💡 Explanation
Misinterpreted quipu data leads to inaccurate assessments of cable degradation, meaning tensile strength analysis yields a cable thickness calculation below safe loads because the material testing data relies on old records, therefore increasing cable breakage risk, rather than alternative failures in decking, counterweights or ropes.
