← HistoryWhich constraint on ship construction affects the strength using clinker planking?
A)Overlapping planks' fastener spacing✓
B)Keel timber's resistance to hogging
C)Mast's sail area to hull ratio
D)Rudder's maximum turning angle range
💡 Explanation
Plank overlap demands careful fastener placement due to sheer stress distribution during wave impacts; fastener failure weakens clinker planking cohesion through shear stress overload, rather than keel hogging, because this specific architecture uses overlapping edges.
