Which undesirable oscillation occurs when an actuator connected to long hydraulic lines experiences over-correction?

💡 Explanation

Water hammer effect amplifies feedback because rapid valve closures create pressure waves that propagate down the long lines, leading to actuator over-correction and oscillation. Therefore oscillation increases, rather than stiction or a fluid lock, which halt movement under different conditions.
