So here are the questions I have so far.
1. How long is the arm supposed to be?
2. How long is base supposed to be?
3. How much should the counter weight weigh?
4. How long will the sling need to be?
5. How much will the projectile need weigh?
Of course these are all based on proportions. If the arm is 10 inches it will have a different base than if the arm is 10 feet. As you adjust those proportions how does it affect release, distance and velocity?
Let's figure it out and build a better Trebuchet!
