It forced people to make the walls stronger and out of stone instead of wood like the motte and bailey castle. The trebuchet was very powerful so if you were making the walls stronger you would of had to really make it strong!
you should make the walls higher and have deference one top
it meant that the corners of the castle collapsed so people reconsidered whether having corners was a good idea and decided to try circular towers which ended up help the win battles
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.
A trebuchet can hurl objects up to around 300 meters (984 feet) depending on factors such as the size of the trebuchet, the weight of the projectile, and the force generated during the launch.
a trebuchet is a type of catapult. it used a counter weight
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.
In some ways, yes. A trebuchet can hurl objects farther and higher than a catapult, but a catapult can throw with more force.
The artist is galeao
The mechanical advantage of a trebuchet can be calculated by dividing the length of the long arm (from the pivot point to the location where the counterweight is attached) by the length of the short arm (from the pivot point to the sling pouch where the projectile is placed). This ratio represents how much the trebuchet amplifies the input force applied to the short arm to launch the projectile.
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.
Because it had more force and power over the people of England
Potential energy in a trebuchet is converted into kinetic energy when the counterweight is released, causing the projectile to accelerate and be launched. The potential energy stored in the raised counterweight is what provides the force needed to throw the projectile.
