There are so many group and civilizations that used catapults. The Roman, the Greek, the Briton, the Chinese and the French civilizations had all used catapults. The three main catapults that were used by these civilizations were the Ballista catapult, the Springald catapult, and the Mangonel catapult. Catapults enabled to attack a city from the outside. These catapults were used to hurl large stones over and toward the walls of the city that you are attacking.
Catapults in modern-day don’t exactly have the same job as they had back in the middle ages but it is still used in combat. It is used on aircraft carriers to propel aircrafts in the air and it also is used on submarines and boats to launch bombs. Some important mathematical concepts that are used when building/ designing a catapult is projectile motion, accuracy vs. precision, and the use of the quadratic equation.
There are many different factors that come in place when thinking about what kind of catapult that I would like to design and what materials and measurements that will go into it. I believe that if I create a classical catapult, I would be able to get great efficiency out of it while designing it to be an all green product. There will be little to no need for bought materials in the construction of the catapult. I also believe that measuring the mathematics for the launch of the catapult will be simpler to estimate and then the more accurate we can make it. So for those reason, I would want to create a classical catapult
