how does that make any sense?
isn't the hot tap fed by the cold tap?

No, you moron. They are separate lines. The hot tap comes from a boiler, central heater or some other heat source. Cold goes to mains.
You fricking dumbass.
but the heat source gets water from the same line as the cold water
it doesn't just make water out of nothing
that's what got me wondering about the differences in pressure
Well have you considered that there may be some kind of blockage? Because hot a d cold split after the mains. So probably something after the main is blocking the cold line but not the hot.
Is this seriously the kind of question you need other people to respond for you?
Cold water moves through pipes more slowly. Think of it like this, 0° water is frozen and stops completely while 100° water becomes a gas and moves more easily. The colder the water is the less easily it flows. Hope this helps.
Probably a pipe diameter difference somewhere. Like the hot lines got redone at some point with a smaller line so pressure went up.
only smart answer so far

What the frick
6% * 50 is 6/100*50, which is the same as 50*6/100 which is the same as 50/100*6.
It's called the commutative law of multiplication and most people learn it in elementary school.
Common core zoomer?
youre right but.
small diameter -> more friction -> more pressure drop
Well, at least I'm only half moronic then.
or the heat exchanger has a pump and the cold water has less pressure
People are constantly using the cold to drink, flush, and wash clothes.
Check that the cold water shut off valve under the sink is full open. Next I would check to see if the cartidge in the cold water side of the tap isn't fricked up and in need of replacing.

The answer doesn't matter because there's nothing you can do about it.
