Why is it important to consider the mass of the projectile (payload) when designing a trebuchet for a medieval siege?
A heavier projectile will always travel farther.
The mass of the projectile affects the trebuchet's balance.
The mass of the projectile influences the energy transfer efficiency.
A lighter projectile can be thrown by hand, making the trebuchet unnecessary.
