Which outcome results on a 1770s-era wooden ship when differential plank expansion concentrates stress?

💡 Explanation

Increased hogging deformation results because cyclical wetting causes planks to expand and compress unevenly creating bending moments. The hull experiences longitudinal stress, therefore, exacerbating the natural sag (hogging) due to weight imbalance rather than affecting ballasting, steering or timekeeping.
