The radius of a pump piston and mechanical advantage of a hydraulic press are 0.5mand4m. What is the area of cross section of press piston?
A trolley of 10,000 kg is placed on a platform which is fixed to a press piston of a hydraulic lift. The areas of cross section of the press piston and pump piston are 72 m2 and 0.6 m2, respectively. Arrange the following steps in a proper order to find the effort applied on the pump piston and mechanical advantage of hydraulic lift by using load and effort.(A) Pressure is equal on both the press and pump pistons, i.e., P1 = P2 or F1a1=F2a2(B) Find the mass of the trolley, areas of cross section of pump piston and press piston from the given data.(C) The force on the press piston (F2) is equal to weight of the trolley, this is the load. (D) The amount of force (F1) needed to be applied on the pump piston to lift the trolley is effort.(E) The mechanical advantage of the hydraulic machine is the ratio of load to effort.
The mechanical advantage of a hydraulic press is 10. A car of mass 1000 kg is lifted by it when placed on a piston of a hydraulic press of area of cross section 10cm2. What is the area of cross section of the piston where the effort applied ?
