Which outcome occurred in ancient stone-throwing siege engines without adequate counterweight?

💡 Explanation

A malfunctioning system reduces the effect; therefore, the unbalancing results because energy transfer experiences diminished potential. The lack of adequate counterweight causes reduced firing-arm moment balance, rather than increasing energy, optimizing angles, and oscillation effects.
