Which consequence results when timber frame of Trebuchet saturates?

💡 Explanation

Diminished counterweight drop displacement will occur after saturation. Timber swells due to moisture absorption causing increased friction on the axle's rotational movement because the journal bearing swells against the axle, therefore reducing the overall system energy, rather than transferring it effectively.
