← HistoryWhich outcome directly resulted when ancient ropewalks exceeded fiber length limits?
A)Reduced rope tensile strength✓
B)Increased splicing efficiency gained
C)Greater rope flexibility emerges
D)Improved knot-tying capabilities results
💡 Explanation
Ropewalks had length limits related to available fiber, inducing excessive splicing; axial force transfer suffered, because excessive splices introduce stress concentrations. Therefore, lower tensile strength occurred, rather than improved knotting or flexibility because of increased defects.
