You guy are about a million times smarter than
I, but I got a question
wrong on a test years ago and it nags at me.
What would seem to be the more destructive
force.
High pressure water or:
Massive water flow. IE volume
I guessed volume but it was wrong but I think
the test was wrong.
It wasa long time ago and before I croak I need
somee finality on this.

The energy contained in a stream of water ( or
any fluid, for that matter) is calculated by
multiplying the mass flow rate in Kg/ sec times
the square of the velocity in metres / second..
From this calculation, you can come to the
conclusion that the faster it goes, the more
damage it does.
