← HistoryWhich limit increased risk appeared when fitting crossbeams too closely onto a longship framework?
A)Decreased hull structural integrity✓
B)Increased mast's resonant frequency
C)Reduced sail's peak aerodynamic performance
D)Compromised steering oar efficiency
💡 Explanation
The hull's structural weakness appears because constraint causes stress transferred via the Interference fit mechanism concentrates near those beams, therefore creating points prone crack propagation, rather than distributes load properly. Alternate choices don't related structural strength.
