Class,
Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are the two main types of power
systems used on aircraft. Hydraulic systems use some type of mostly
incompressible fluid to create pressure to actuate certain things, and
pneumatic systems use high pressure air to pressurize certain systems. A
lot of times, these systems are used together to make systems even
easier to use. Hydraulics have made flight control systems much easier
and simpler to use and maintain. Hydraulic usually operate quite
smoothly, and the maintenance that is required is usually somewhat quick
and easy depending on the task or part of the system. Some drawbacks to
hydraulic and pneumatic systems are that they are very heavy, usually
quite complicated and large, and expensive. The maintenance, although
usually simple, can be time consuming due to the size and complexity of
most of these systems.
One of the biggest issues of maintaining these systems is their sheer
complexity. These systems are found all throughout the entire aircraft, and
they can be very hard to follow and troubleshoot. Finding leaks and even
doing maintenance on them can be a very long and drawn-out process
depending on the problem and location. Modern hydraulic systems are
extremely complex, and no troubleshooting can be completed without
having the schematic diagram of the system laid out in front of you
(Crane, 2007).

Suppose that you have designed a portable compressed-air supply system, as shown in the figure below,for filling scuba tanks and for driving pneumatics tools in garages and factories.The system consists of an electric motor, an air compressor, an air tank, a regulator and a pressure-reliefsafety valve.The regulator contains a pressure sensor connected to a power switch. The motor is switched on whenthe tank pressure drops bellow a fixed value and off at a slightly higher pressure. The pressure-reliefvalve is set to open at a higher pressure than the regulator motor off-pressure.Explosion of the tank is clearly a dangerous hazard. Three events are assumed to possibly lead to a tankexplosion:1. an internal tank defect such as poor welding2. an external cause such as a plant vehicle colliding with the tank3. Excess pressure in the tank. The excess pressure can occur only if both the control unit and thepressure-relief valve fail:The pressure sensor might fail to shut oof the motor because…

Pressurized eyes Our eyes need a certain amount of internal pressure in order to work properly, with the normal range being between 10 and 20 mm of mercury. The pressure is determined by a balance between the fluid entering and leaving the eye. If the pressure is above the normal level, damage may occur to the optic nerve where it leaves the eye, leading to a loss of the visual field termed glaucoma. Measurement of the pressure within the eye can be done by several different noninvasive types of instruments, all of which measure the slight deformation of the eyeball when a force is put on it. Some methods use a physical probe that makes contact with the front of the eye, applies a known force, and measures the deformation. One non-contact method uses a calibrated “puff” of air that is blown against the eye. The stagnation pressure resulting from the air blowing against the eyeball causes a slight deformation, the magnitude of which is correlated with the pressure within the eyeball.…

1-
Dynamics is concerned with bodies that only have accelerated motion.
2- A particle has a mass but negligible size and shape.
3- The average velocity of a particle is different than its average speed.
4- If the acceleration is zero, the particle cannot move.
5- Kinematics is concerned with the forces that cause the motion.
6- A particle can have an acceleration and although it has zero velocity.

Pulley C
Spring
Scale
Figure 3
(d) A long cord of negligible mass is wrapped around a
third pulley, Pulley C, and attached to a spring scale, as
shown in Figure 3. The spring scale is pulled downward
so that it exerts a constant force of magnitude Fs on the
cord. As the spring scale moves down a significant
distance, the vertical portion of the cord moves closer
and closer to the center of the pulley.
Predict how the net torque exerted on the pulley and the
rotational kinetic energy of the pulley will be changing, if
at all, as the spring scale moves downward and the
vertical portion moves closer to the center of the pulley.
Net torque:
