Eli5: If water can’t be compressed under normal conditions, then how does water pressure work?
In: 18
Sorta like asking how does sandblasting work if sand isn’t compressible. Air pushes on it. For a pressure washer, compressed air pushes on the water. For tap water, standard atmosphere and the weight of the water itself pushes the water out. Compression doesn’t really come into it at all.
