← HistoryWithin Roman aqueducts, which constraint results from increased head pressure?
A)Increased leakage at joints✓
B)Reduced flow laminar transition
C)Enhanced mineral deposition rate
D)Decreased hydraulic diameter stability
💡 Explanation
Increased head pressure causes increased leakage; it overcomes the joints' sealing capacity due to hydrostatic force. This is because pressure directly influences force, therefore leading to separation rather than maintaining the static condition as designed, at higher pressures.
