Which outcome arises given increased Viking longship sail attack angle?

💡 Explanation

Increased attack angle increases stress on the sail's fabric due to higher aerodynamic loading; this exceeds the material's tensile strength, because it undergoes significant deformation. Therefore, sail rupture risk rises, rather than optimal aerodynamics or maneuverability which result in reduced stress.
