Q

Hydraulic lift?

A

A device that uses hydraulic multiplication

17
Q

How do u achieve the force of hydraulic multiplication?

A

The surface area of the input pisten needs to b smaller than the output pisten

18
Q

What is it about hydraulic systems that allows you to this multiplication of a force?

A

Notice the pressure is the same as the input side as it is at the output side
Liquids are incompressible, so the applied force is not lost or used up, it is transferred

19
Q

Disadvantages to hydraulic systems allowing you to this multiplication of a force?

A

To gain mechanical advantages, u sacrifice distance

20
Q

Problems with hydraulic systems?

A

Every twist and turn in the pipe increases th systems resistance to flow
Every spot one pipe connects to another pipe or to a fitting can leak
The size of the pump affects the pressure in the system
The liquids flow can be slowed down by any obstructions

21
Q

What does the study of gases lead to?

A

Pneumatics

22
Q

Pneumatics?

A

The study and use of pressure in gases

23
Q

What are fluid systems that use gases called?

A

Pneumatics systems

24
Q

Pneumatic systems?

A

A fluid system that uses a pressurized gas to transmit force and complete work

25
Q

Can pneumatics systems be used to transmit an applied force and why?

A

No pneumatics can’t be used to transmit an applied force because any force you apply to the gas goes into compressing the gas and is not transmitting

26
Q

Difference between pneumatic systems and hydraulic systems

A

Hydraulic
-liquids are incompressible, so very little force is lost
-can be used at very high pressure
Pneumatic
-gases are compressible, so gas can be pressurized in a tank, transported, them used somewhere else to do work
-operate at much lower pressures, so generally safer
