← HistoryWhich impact would occur if repeated Roman ballista firing exceeds wooden frame yield strength?
A)Increased projectile firing distances achieved
B)Lowered projectile trajectory stabilization time
C)Progressive structural deformation occurs over time✓
D)Enhanced torsion spring energy storage levels
💡 Explanation
Progressive deformation occurs due to creep; ballista frame fibers continually experience elevated stress because the continued impacts exceed yield strength, therefore the frame deforms rather than maintaining its designed geometry under load.
