← HistoryWhich outcome arose when medieval Islamic water clocks driving astronomical automata faced inaccuracies?
A)Use of epicyclic gear trains
B)Reliance on mechanical escapements
C)Application of feedback regulators✓
D)Invention of vacuum regulators
💡 Explanation
Application of feedback regulators became essential because buoyancy variations caused inconsistent torque; therefore, self-correcting mechanisms improved the clocks' timekeeping accuracy when driving complex astronomical displays, rather than relying upon less precise methods.
