Hydraulic principles

Question 1

What is the determining factor in Outlining fluid pressure. Height or volume of the container

Answer 1

The height of the container is the critical factor in determining fluid pressure The shape or size of a container does not affect the fluid pressure.

Question 2

What is pascals law

Answer 2

Pascal’s law states that any increase in the pressure on a confined liquid is transmitted equally and undiminished to all parts of the container.

Question 3

what is compressibility

Answer 3

the capacity of something to be flattened or reduced in size by pressure.

Question 4

what is force multiplication in relation to hydraulics

Answer 4

The formula, Force = Area × Pressure, represents the relationship between force, pressure, and area.

The formula, Volume = Area × Distance, represents the relationship between volume, area, and
distance.

Question 5

How do differential areas affect hydraulics

Answer 5

Mechanical advantage is achieved by having an output piston larger than an input piston

It is possible to have an application that requires a large amount of movement but only a small amount of force.
