Which risk increased as Viking 'rope bridge' spans lengthened without improved cable tensioning?

💡 Explanation

Fretting fatigue damage increased as spans lengthened because increasing cable length exposed higher stressed area susceptible to microscopic relative motions at contact point. Therefore, material fatigue was enhanced, rather than aeroelastic flutter or mitigating stress corrosion.
