← HistoryWhich consequence results when rope fiber yield strength decreases on a historically accurate Viking longship?
A)Sail area becomes dramatically unstable✓
B)Hull integrity is automatically compromised
C)Rudder control quickly improves overall
D)Mast height remains relatively unaltered
💡 Explanation
Sail area destabilizes because reduced rope strength causes increased catenary, therefore making sail TRIM impossible without significant area loss. Rather than hull failure or better control, weakened rope only affects the sail.
