Ghislaine Maxwell (2015) As a result of Giuffre's allegations and Maxwell's comments about them, Giuffre sued Maxwell for defamation in federal court in New York in September 2015.[31] After much legal confrontation, the case was settled under seal in June 2017 with Maxwell reportedly paying Giuffre "millions".[31][68] Virginia Giuffre v. Alan Dershowitz (2019) In April 2019, Giuffre filed a federal civil defamation lawsuit against Alan Dershowitz in New York.[19][67] Giuffre was first represented by David Boies but Alan Dershowitz successfully had him removed from the case as he claimed that members of the law firm could be called to witness in the trial. She was subsequently represented by lawyer Charles Cooper. Boies filed a separate defamation lawsuit against Dershowitz for implying that Boies had pressured Giuffre into making false claims.[69] Second criminal case Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019 at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey[70] and charged with sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy by prosecutors with the Public Corruption Unit of the Southern District of New York [71] In the indictment, Epstein was accused of soliciting massages from underage girls where the activities became increasingly sexual and then of enlisting the girls to recruit other underage victims for pay.[71] U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York appealed for other victims of Epstein to come forward.[71] The federal indictment also listed the key role of Epstein's paid "employees and associates" responsible for scheduling victims.[71] One month after his arrest, Epstein was found dead on August 10, 2019, after reportedly hanging himself in his Manhattan prison cell.[72][7] On August 29, 2019, in the wake of Epstein's death 19 days prior, the case against Epstein was closed after District Judge Richard Berman dismissed all sex trafficking charges.[73][74] Judge Berman expressed support for Epstein's accusers, stating that he invited them to speak publicly at a hearing on August 27, 2019, out of "respect" for "the difficult decisions victims made to come forward".[73] Giuffre was among the 16 women who spoke publicly at the hearing, which included Anouska De Georgiou, Sarah Ransome, Jennifer Araoz, Chauntae Davies, Courtney Wild, Theresa J. Helm, and Marijke Chartouni.[75] At the hearing, Giuffre stated "The reckoning must not end. It must continue. He did not act alone. We the victims know that." Prosecutors signaled that they would continue an investigation for potential co-conspirators.[74]

Am I the only one thinking about how they could make the hole smaller so that it would be a ridiculous water cutter?

[@Dani-ln6sp]

@@shepherdofmemories Good thought! I honestly have no clue but what you're saying does make sense when I think about it.

[@Dani-ln6sp]

@Aelerity Thank you for clearing that up! I'm curious just to clarify there would be no increase in pressure from decreasing the size of the whole however it's potential to cut would increase as the pressure would be applied to a small area thus become the "knife edge" of the water

[@erictheepic5019]

A water jet cutter relies on the fact that the pump is pumping a given volume of water per second, and is very hard to stop. And so, pressure can be increased by forcing that given volume of flow into a smaller cross-sectional area (up to the limit of what the pump can handle, of course). It's the exact opposite for this dam here, because the pressure is a given, but the volume of flow can be varied with the cross-sectional area of the pipe.

[@Dani-ln6sp]

@@erictheepic5019 Thanks for explaining that!

[@jeffvader811]

@@Dani-ln6sp The smaller the orifice, the lower the pressure of the water coming out but the higher it's velocity, it's called the Bernoulli effect.

Torricellies law gives the equation Velocity=(2×g×h)^1/2 According to what Richard says the height is 119m. Putting this value in the equation V=48.34m/s which is roughly equal to 50. I have fluid dynamics exam tomorrow 😛
