cassie K asked:


Using principles of gravitational potential energy, how can I construct a tabletop trebuchet model that is able to project a golf ball a distance of at least 6 ft. The maximum dimensions are 24 x 24 x 24 [inches].
But how can I incorporate the math? What equations do I use?

How do I set up the trebuchet?

      With a trebuchet of those dimensions, that ball will go a LOT farther. Have fun.
      Wikipedia has some info.
