← HistoryWhich outcome arises from medieval adaptation to algebra when designing water clocks?
A)Precisely timed water volume release✓
B)Purely ornamental clock construction
C)Direct translation classical Greek texts
D)Astrological time event prediction fails
💡 Explanation
Algebra enabled adjusting orifice sizes to calibrate flow rates, and thus more accurate time keeping because flow variations from reservoir water level changes, are compensated by careful sizing based equations; therefore, accurate water volume released, rather than time-telling error.
