← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when siege engine torsion springs weaken?
A)Decreased projectile launch power✓
B)Increased engine structural stability
C)Faster winch winding rate
D)Reduced crew fatigue during reloading
💡 Explanation
Decreased projectile launch power occurs because energy storage diminishes via reduced spring constant, therefore the range decreases, rather than affecting structure or winding because the spring's primary action is energy storage via Hooke's Law.
