History

Which outcome results from concentrated heat exposure on Roman ballista twisted sinew?

A)Increased projectile firing distance
B)Loss of projectile kinetic energy
C)Improved ballistic trajectory stability
D)Higher internal spring stress limits

💡 Explanation

Localized charring weakens sinew fiber bundles utilizing elastic potential energy, therefore the sinew loses torsional spring constant or stored energy, because the heat caused irreversible denaturing and plastic deformation, rather than structural reinforcement.
