← HistoryWhich consequence arises from exceeding trebuchet's mass limit?
A)Increased projectile launch distance
B)Weakened frame structural collapse✓
C)Enhanced counterweight rotational energy
D)Improved projectile trajectory accuracy
💡 Explanation
A large counterweight increases stress beyond the wood's yield strength, causing material failure, because of excessive inertial load increases structural strain. Therefore, weakened frame structural collapse results, rather than enhanced firing.
