Hydraulic Machine Flashcards
1
Q
These machines work on the concept that
A
liquids are incompressible
2
Q
the statement before implies that
A
their volume cannot be reduced by squeezing
3
Q
therefore these mean that pressure is transmitted throughout the
A
liquid
4
Q
look at example 1 and other questions to see how they work
A
area of x= 0.5m squared are of y= 5m squared pressure of x= force of x / area of x =50/ 0.5 =100Pa Some liquids are incompressible therefore pressure of x= pressure of y so pressure of y= force of y/ area of y therefore force of y= pressure of y x area of y =100 x 5 =500 N
5
Q
look at other examples
A
ill input the hw one tmr ( i did it)
6
Q
all of this therefore shows that a hydraulic machine is
A
a force multiplier
7
Q
look at hw question
A
a) P of y= 0.5m x 800kgm^-3 x 10Nkg^-1
= 4000Pa
b) lower level of piston is same horizontal level as Y
so 4000Pa= ?
therefore low level of piston= 4000Pa
c) A=0.1m^2 P=F/A so F=PA F= 4000 x 0.1 =400N
d) W=mg
so 400= m x 10
So M=400/10
=40kg
