Which outcome results when historical Roman siege catapults experienced significant wood fiber saturation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced elasticity occurs because waterlogged wood undergoes fiber weakening, which diminishes the catapult arm's spring constant. Therefore, projectile kinetic energy is reduced, decreasing firing distance, rather than more efficient counterweight usage or improved joint flexibility.
