← HistoryWhich catastrophic outcome became probabilistically magnified when using Roman catapults at extreme ranges?
A)Target structural resonant frequency match✓
B)Projectile fragmentation aerodynamic instability
C)Ammunition supply logistical disruption
D)Crew fatigue operational inefficiency
💡 Explanation
Extreme ranges increased randomness due ammunition variations. Therefore matching target resonant frequency rose, causing catastrophic damage, because unpredictable projectile trajectories occasionally created optimal excitation, rather than reliably hitting their aim points on the walls.
