← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when Viking longship mast-raising ropes suffer hysteresis?
A)Slower raising of the mast✓
B)Increased sailcloth stress
C)Rudder jamming becomes prevalent
D)Hull planking joint failure
💡 Explanation
Mast-raising speed decreases because the hysteresis introduces internal friction within the rope fibers, limiting recovery, therefore the mast rises slower rather than causing stress or rudder/hull problems in other ship sections.
