← HistoryWhich limitation arose influencing 18th-century man-of-war ship construction under heavy broadside recoil?
A)Faster timber separation
B)Hull structure racking✓
C)Deck plank splintering
D)Increased mast breakage
💡 Explanation
Hull structure racking occurred because inadequate bracing against stresses caused distortion via elastic deformation; therefore, the ships' frames weakened, accelerating failure, rather than fracturing components because external energy overcame internal cohesive forces.
