← HistoryWhich risk increases during an ancient trebuchet launch?
A)Missile trajectory instability occurs✓
B)Premature counterweight disengagement occurs
C)Rope abrasion failure accelerates
D)Frame structural integrity crumbles
💡 Explanation
Missile trajectory instability increases during trebuchet launch because slight variations cause the projectile release angle to deviate due to projectile instability rather than a consistent trajectory; therefore, accuracy diminished, rather than disengagement, abrasion, or structural issues, which affect reliability.
