Re: trebuchet



I agree. It would be a challenge to maximize the simulated efficiency
by changing the length of the arm, the length of the rope, etc. (under
ideal conditions of no friction and no air resistance). Thanks for
correcting me. A good project, indeed.

The guess that that the efficiency might be 1 isn't the case
here. There's a "gotcha" which makes this most problem especially
interesting.
