← HistoryWhich outcome arose when the inclined plane's design limitations hindered lift in Archimedes' screw pumps irrigating early Mughal gardens?
A)Reduced flow to cascade fountains✓
B)Erosion increased near overflow jets
C)Pump efficiency peaked at night
D)Decreased fish supply to pools
💡 Explanation
Reduced flow to fountains occurred because the Inclined Plane principal suffered back-flow at steeper gradients within imperfectly constructed Archimedes’ screws; therefore, water reached display fountains more slowly, rather than other hydraulic effects in pools.
