History

Which increased risk occurred when siege engines used counterweight trebuchets?

A)Unstable rotational balance on diverse terrain
B)Inconsistent stone projectile trajectory distances
C)Low counterweight to projectile mass ratios
D)Excessive load impacts on release mechanism

💡 Explanation

Damage risk increased because the energy transfer via angular momentum applied turning force, leading to uneven ground affecting stability, therefore rotational imbalance impaired accuracy, rather than merely trajectory, launch mass, or release stress.
