Which mechanical consequence emerged when Viking longships encountered shallow coastal waters?

💡 Explanation

Keel grounding risk increases because the keel's interaction with the seabed experiences increased frictional resistance and force distribution, therefore hindering the ship's progress rather than improving maneuverability, because deep water presents fewer obstructions.
