Which navigational consequence arose when a Viking longship lacked ballast?

💡 Explanation

Reduced ballast diminished the longship's restoring moment. The resulting roll amplification increased the capsize risk because the center of gravity was abnormally high, therefore stability suffered, rather than other issues with speed and vibration from a more rigid keel design.

• Which risk during transoceanic voyages increased when shipbuilders maximized sail area?
• Which outcome results when the sail area on a Viking longship increases without a corresponding adjustment to ballast or hull design?
• Which outcome results when repeated annealing of bronze tools by early metallurgists is uneven?
• Which optical consequence occurs when an astrolabe 's alidade arm degrades during prolonged exposure to high intensity insolation?
• Which consequence results from applying Al-Khwarizmi's algebraic methods to inheritance division, in the presence of complex family relationships?
• Which mechanical effect results when Roman concrete sets in seawater?
