What does a trebuchet look like?

The only difference between a trebuchet and a catapult is a catapult is triggered by a spring mechanism and a trebuchet is triggered by weight placed on the throwing. You put weight on the short end of the throwing arm and your projectile goes in a sling attached to the other end. When you release the throwing arm the weight pulls the long end of the throwing arm and launches the sling over and around the rest of the trebuchet. The weight can be positioned in one of two ways, it can be in a fixed position on the end of the throwing arm then there must be wheels attached to the base of the trebuchet so the swinging of the arm doesn't tip over the trebuchet. The other option is to attach the weight with a swinging mechanism such as a basket attached to the end of the arm.

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.


Why was the trebuchet weighted at the opposite end from the missile?

to provide a counter weight that would help propel the projectile by using the force of gravity
