← HistoryWhich risk critically increased when Vikings began constructing larger longships?
A)Increased rope manufacturing complexity
B)Greater bending moment on hull✓
C)Higher sail weaving thresholds
D)Larger keel alignment drift
💡 Explanation
The bending moment risk increased because longer hulls experienced greater stress concentration midships. Increased length amplified bending moment caused by wave action, therefore ships faced risk of structural failure, rather than just rope or sail issues.
