Which outcome occurs when transverse sails exceed safe wind-loading conditions in late antiquity?

💡 Explanation

Progressive material fatigue occurs because cyclic stress weakens the mast fibers through the mechanism of fatigue cracking. Therefore, structural weaknesses accumulate, rather than causing immediate failure or affecting unrelated systems like capacitance or friction; human power changes are negligible.
