Draw a neat labelled diagram to explain the working of a hydraulic jack?
The hydraulic jack is a device used for lifting heavy loads by the application of smaller force. It is based on the principle of Pascal’s law, which states that the intensity of pressure is transmitted equally in all directions through a mass of fluid at rest.
The figure shown below consists of two cylinders A and B connected through a pipe P. A liquid is filled in the two cylinders and the connecting pipe. The surface area of the piston connected to cylinder A is smaller than that of the piston connected to cylinder B. To start the function piston connected to cylinder A is pressed downwards with the help of a motor. This increases the pressure on the liquid-filled cylinder A. The increased pressure thus developed is transferred through the liquid in pipe P to cylinder B. As the surface area of the piston connected to cylinder B is a large amount of thrust lifts the platform of the cylinder B upwards. This thrust is sufficient to lift a car or a truck to the desired height.
