Who invented the trebuchet?
The traction trebuchet was first invented between 5th - 4th century BC, when it is first mentioned in a 4th century Chinese text. The first evidence of a trebuchet is a 4th century text compiled in pre-Imperial China. The Chinese named the later counterweight trebuchet Huihui Pao, where Pao means bombard. The trebuchet spread to the Mediterranean by 6th century AD. The Byzantine Empire began using the trebuchet in the 6th century, and it is mentioned in the Strategicon of Maurice by Emperor Maurice. The counterweight trebuchet is mentioned in the work of the 12th century Byzantine historian Niketas Choniates.

Why aren't trebuuchets used anymore?

How does a trebuchet use force?
A trebuchet uses the force of gravity to propel its projectile. The counterweight falling creates kinetic energy, which is transferred to the arm of the trebuchet and then to the projectile, launching it forward. Additionally, the leverage provided by the long arm of the trebuchet amplifies this force.
What country was the trebuchet developed in?
The trebuchet was made in China, however, was used in Muslim and christain countries around the Mediterainean.

What is the typical projectile of a trebuchet?
A trebuchet typically launches large rocks, projectiles, or other heavy objects over long distances. The projectile is loaded into a sling attached to the throwing arm of the trebuchet, which is then released to launch the projectile towards its target.
Is a trebuchet a Force Magnifier or a Distance Magnifier?
I'm unsure as to what exactly a distance magnifier is so hopefully someone with expertise in trebuchets can add to this. However I am confident that a trebuchet works on the principle of a lever. A lever is a force magnifier. Yet a trebuchet also uses a sling to launch the projectile in a parabolic arc which has the effect of increasing the distance, so perhaps it qualifies as both? A lever is most often used as a force multiplier, where the load moves through a smaller distance than the applied force, but in the case of a trebuchet the lever is used in the opposite sense. The load moves through a greater distance than the applied force and so the trebuchet is a distance multiplier.
What battles was the trebuchet in?
The most famous battle was probably the siege of Stirling where King Edward used the famous "Warwolf" trebuchet to level the Scots. They were also used in almost every siege in the Crusades.
