← HistoryWhich consequence results when seasonal temperature variation alters rope properties in Viking longships?
A)Sail control adjustments become necessary✓
B)Hull integrity marginally decreases quickly
C)Oar synchronization becomes intermittently staggered
D)Cargo shifts exacerbate roll dynamics slowly
💡 Explanation
Changes in temperature affect rope tension due to thermal expansion; this mechanism alters sail trim. Because sail tension becomes unpredictable, the crew must constantly adjust sail control, rather than observe delayed hull failure or cargo shifting issues because the shipmaster would act more promptly.
