← HistoryWhich consequence results when errors affect al-Khwarizmi's al-jabr calculations for irrigation canal design?
A)Unpredictable water flow✓
B)Sublimation equilibrium disruptions
C)Decreased soil salinity
D)Increased hydrostatic pressure
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate canal dimensions via al-jabr affect the hydraulic radius because cross-sectional area doesn't match the flow rate. Therefore, unpredictable uneven water flow occurs during use, rather than achieving intended irrigation distribution or pressures.
