  1. TREBUCHETReport Grading

  2. Trebuchet • The report will included the following information: (1) a word processed document, size 12 font, doubled spaced, (2) a very brief history on the trebuchet, (3) Physics based principles on how and why the trebuchet operates, (4) description on how the team designed, collected, assembled, and tested their trebuchet, (5) show calculations on computing trebuchet force, (6) data table showing team test results, (7) information on how much money is used in the building of the trebuchet, (8) correct writing method and procedures used in the report, (9) bibliography and internet sources listed.

  3. Trebuchet • Typed report – 20pts • Brief history – 20pts • Physics based principles – 20pts • Physics calculation – 20pts • Design & assembly – 10pts • Blue prints / pictures – 10pts • Data Table (test) – 50pts • Cost of project – 10pts • Bill of Material – 10pts • Correct writing – 20pts • Bibliography – 10pts • Possible 200 points

  4. Trebuchet • Bill of Material looks like this • Trebuchet • 6 @ 2” x 4” x 8’0” $3.25 = 19.50 • 2 @ 2” x 10” x 10’0” $ 9.00 = 18.00 • 1 @ 1” dia. X 4’0” $2.00 = 2.00 • 1 @ 4” x 4” x 8’0” $ 8.00 = 8.00 • 1 @ ¾” dia. x 25’0” rope $6.00 = 6.00 • 3 @ Screw eyes 5/8” x 2” .75 = 2.25 • 1 @ Bolt ½ x 6” 1.25 = 1.25 • 50 @ nails 3” 3.00 = 3.00 • Total 60.00 • Cost per team member 60.00/4 = 15.00

  5. Trebuchet Calculations • Counter weight / projectile mass • Conversion lb x .453 = kilograms • Distance feet to meters • Conversion ft x .3048 = meters • Gravity Metric = 9.8 m/sec2 • Gravity English = 32 ft/sec2 • Potential Energy – English Ep= w x h • Potential Energy – Metric Ep= m x g x h • Velocity = Distance / time • Acceleration a = Vf – Vi / t • Kinetic Energy – English Ek = ½ w/g x v2 • Kinetic Energy – Metric Ek = ½ m x v2 • Torque = F x L • Work = T x Ɵ • Mechanical Efficiency = Workout / Workin x %

  6. Trebuchet • Graph – should look like this.

  7. Trebuchet Data Table should look like
