Slide 4 - Slide

F1=12 N, A1= 2 cm2
P1= F1/A1= 12/2=6 N/cm2

A2=2.10=20 cm2

F2= P.A
F2= 6 . 20=120 N

How hydraulic machines work
Hydraulic machines use liquids, which are incompressible. Force that is applied at one point is transmitted to another point using an incompressible fluid. The fluid is almost always an oil of some sort. The force is almost always multiplied in the process.

Exercise
Question: A hydraulic system is used to lift a 2000-kg vehicle in an auto garage. If the vehicle sits on a piston of area 0.5 square meter, and a force is applied to a piston of area 0.03 square meters, what is the minimum force that must be applied to lift the vehicle?

Answer: hydraulic lift solution

Exercise
Question: A barber raises his customer’s chair by applying a force of 150N to a hydraulic piston of area 0.01 m2. If the chair is attached to a piston of area 0.1 m2, how massive a customer can the chair raise? Assume the chair itself has a mass of 5 kg.
