Which 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.
