← HistoryWhich risk increased when Norse shipbuilders extended suspended 'rope-bridges'?
A)Increased probability of deck collapse
B)Amplified hydrodynamic drag on hull
C)Elevated center of gravity instability✓
D)Enhanced susceptibility of sail fouling
💡 Explanation
Elevated cargo placement increased instability because the elevated positioning used mechanical advantage, therefore the ship was easier to tilt rather than increasing deck stress or drag given standard dimensions and sail rigging of longships.
