The catapult worked by using tension in ropes to pull back the projectile cradle, then release and fling the object. The catapult ropes were usually cranked until enough tension existed, then it was released an all that potential energy turned into mechanical kinetic energy, flinging the object.
What is a scaling tower?
Quite simply, the tower is rolled up to the enemy wall, whereupon attacking soldiers climb it from the inside and pour over the wall. It was a much safer way of breaching a wall than with scaling ladders, as the scaling tower was heavily protected from arrows, javelins, and other missiles hurled at them by the defenders, and soldiers on top of the tower provided covering fire for those climbing onto the enemy wall. Yet, it took time to get the tower into position, which made no secret to the defenders of where the breach was intended. For this reason, several towers were used at the same time whenever possible, and they were very effective.
