Which risk increases when Viking longship hogging induces stress at rope attachments?

💡 Explanation

Degraded rope tensile strength arises because *stress corrosion cracking* accelerates in saltwater under load, reducing the rope's ability to withstand further hogging, therefore failure rate rapidly increases rather than a steady decline while dry and stable under low-fluctuations.
