Physic Of The Trebuchet
For our project, we decided to determine the maximum distance that a trebuchet could achieve under limited circumstances. ... Thus we now had enough information to understand and calculate the motion of a simple trebuchet, which the equations at the website reveal. ... com/in3/trebuchet/physics/trebuchet. ... arm length graph which showed that the trebuchet would get a maximum distance at approximately a 2. ... But there is a limit to how heavy the counterweight can be, as the material used to make the trebuchet has to be able to handle its mass. ... -Although we didn’t have time to make a trebuchet, future plans are still in progress!
