How does the potential energy used by the counterweight as it drops relate to the kinetic energy of the projectile as it is launched?

When the counter weight is released, it plummets towards the ground causing the projectile on the other end to rotate. As the counterweight falls, all the potential energy is transferred into kinetic energy
