History

Which effect resulted when Viking longship sails experienced heaving?

A)Increased hull stress concentration
B)Decreased ice accumulation
C)Reduced wind resistance
D)Improved steering effectiveness

💡 Explanation

Increased hull stress occurred because wave-induced heaving creates oscillating forces which cause higher loads on structural joints, specifically stress concentration, therefore potentially causing hull failure rather than hydrodynamic improvements for resisting ice.
