A)Inaccurate projectile trajectory consistently results✓
B)Weakened frame material spontaneously cracks
C)Rope deteriorates with repeated tension
D)Missiles explode prematurely upon firing
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate shots often happened because dimensional inconsistencies during fabrication skewed the elasticity; this elasticity influences the Torsion Spring equation and thus projectile motion. Alignment during assembly mattered therefore shot inaccuracy results rather than other failure modes.
