← HistoryWhich primary effect resulted from the use of torsion-powered siege engines during Roman era?
A)Increased range due to higher projectile mass✓
B)Improved accuracy exceeding previous designs
C)Higher flexibility on uneven terrain
D)Enhanced sustained firing rate compared to manpower
💡 Explanation
When using torsion-powered siege engines, tighter winding increases the force multiplying through levers or arms imparts greater energy. Therefore, longer and heavier arm/projectile yields an incereased range, rather than accuracy, terrain flexibility or sustained fire capability which require other design compromises.
