A trebuchet is a Class 1 lever since the fulcrum is placed between the effort (pulling the counterweight) and the load (the projectile). This lever type allows for a mechanical advantage that enables the trebuchet to launch projectiles with great force and distance.
The trebuchet is a type of lever simple machine. It uses a long arm to create a mechanical advantage, allowing for the launch of heavy projectiles over great distances.
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.
The trebuchet pouch release mechanism works by using a trigger or lever to release the pouch containing the projectile. When the trigger is activated, it releases the pouch, allowing the projectile to be launched by the trebuchet's swinging arm.
A wheel and axle is a special kind of lever, as it combines rotational motion (wheel) with linear motion (lever) to make work easier.
The first kind of lever is a class 1 lever, where the fulcrum is located between the effort force and the load. Examples include a seesaw and scissors.

the higher you place the pivot point on the lever, the higher the stone will go. the lower you place it the lower the stone will go.
wedge is another simple machine kind of lever
it is a 2nd class lever
it is a 2nd class lever

Trebuchet is catapult that uses weight to fire.
Trebuchet MS was created in 1996.
