History

Which outcome occurred when early trebuchet operators miscalculated projectile trajectory?

A)Shortened range, increased counterweight drop
B)Increased range, decreased projectile clearance
C)Damaged frame, uneven weight distribution
D)Reverse launch; failed projectile ejection

💡 Explanation

Trebuchet frame damage occurs during use due to uneven weight distribution, because of improper trajectory calculation during launch affects stress. This creates torsion within the frame components therefore leading to component failure, rather than improved aim.
