Which outcome results when a trebuchet arm sling breaks?

💡 Explanation

When a trebuchet arm sling breaks, the projectile releases early, interrupting the intended energy transfer via Angular Momentum, therefore decreasing final launch distance rather than achieving optimal range; different failures would impact angle.
