← HistoryWhich mechanism caused enhanced range using torsion siege engines?
A)Increased potential energy storage✓
B)Decreased projectile aerodynamic drag
C)Improved engine gear ratios
D)Enhanced rope material strength
💡 Explanation
Increased potential energy storage within the twisted ropes led to projectile acceleration up to launch because the Elastic Rebound transferred this energy, rather than alternative range enhancers; therefore a lack of tension would cripple the siege, thus defeating it.
