← HistoryWhich outcome would increased mangonel torsion power produce against medieval castle walls?
A)Reduced siege duration considerably✓
B)Reinforced stone exterior cracking
C)Increased defender casualties directly
D)Expanded defensive moat stability
💡 Explanation
Augmented mangonel torsion created faster kinetic energy transfer upon impact driving projectile mass, therefore shorter sieges occurred rather than reinforced stone or direct physical harm, because projectile energy overcomes the material tensile strength thresholds.
