Which outcome occurs when a Viking longship encounters excessive transverse forces from wave action acting non-uniformly?

💡 Explanation

Hogging results, because the longitudinal bending moment exceeds the hull's resistance; therefore, the ship's ends deflect downward, rather than twisting about the center or merely affecting localized areas because hydrostatic variations become extreme. The mechanism is structural deflection under load.
