I've tried a few simulators but they don't seem to work with my parameters seeing as i don't have a sling and the object is let out when the arm is perpendicular to the floor..can someone just confirm if the formulas in my previous post give the correct answer?
please!
the one i used was a fixed axle trebuchet, i followed this tutorial without using a sling: http://www.io.com/~beckerdo/other/trebuchet.html so it is a fixed axle trebuchet.
Homework Statement
I have a physics project in which I need to find a relationship between the distances from each side of the throwing arm of a trebuchet and the actual throwing distances. Let's call the distance from the counter-weight side of the throwing arm to the axle variable 'A'...
