← HistoryWhich limitation arose when longer keels were introduced during large ship construction circa 1750-1850?
A)Increased hogging failure probability✓
B)Reduced cargo capacity overall
C)Higher construction material expenses

Increased hogging occurred because keel lengthening exceeded timber's bending strength, therefore structures deformed rather than experiencing equal load across shorter hull forms because weight distribution became uneven along its length.
