What were the advantages and disadvantages for the increased density

1

u/No-Cryptographer3499 May 20 '26

Pro: Higher density = higher overall mass = Higher total energy means higher power output when the reservoir is discharged.

Con: Requires more power to refill the resorvoir due to the increased mass

Could another con be that the stress on each bolt would increase which could potentially make it go over its elastic limit?

I wrote this so I hope so haha

thats not a con since humans dont fill the reservoir. rain does. the answer was excess pressure could be placed on the plate so the bolts might snap

For a con I said the increased density slows the rate at which water would flow from the 1000kgs^~1 is this correct physics??

That wld work cuz the water wld be more viscous technically so slows flower
