History

Which consequence resulted, during sieges, when inadequate seasoning of medieval trebuchet throwing arms occurred?

A)Bearing failure from excessive torque
B)Rotational drag increased notably
C)Catastrophic rupture decreased accuracy
D)Projectile weight caused premature release

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic rupture increased, because the insufficient moisture reduction caused wood fibers to rapidly delaminate under cyclical stress; elastic energy discharge becomes irregular therefore impacting projectile trajectory, rather than a predictable bearing failure.
