Which consequence results when a hydraulic actuator, tasked with rapidly adjusting heavy telescope mirrors for optimal observation, experiences air entrainment?

💡 Explanation

Air entrainment within the hydraulic fluid introduces compressibility, because fluid's incompressibility is compromised; therefore, unpredictable motion occurs in the actuator, rather than efficient positional control, due to inconsistent fluid volume changes under pressure.
