← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when Byzantine weighted silk-reeling machines exceeded speed thresholds?
A)Reduced fabric density occurs
B)Increased yarn breakages occur✓
C)Dye uptake becomes uneven
D)Fiber alignment becomes randomized
💡 Explanation
Increased yarn breakages manifested because exceeding speed thresholds stressed the silk fibers to surpass the elastic limit, causing fracture via work hardening, rather than undergoing plastic deformation. Therefore, breaks increase, rather than a change in density, dye or alignment.
