Questions Hydraulic System Equation: STEPS (1) Small Piston = Large Piston Pressure Pressure (2) Force of the Force of the Small Piston Large Piston ____________ = _____________ Area of the Area of the Small Piston Large Piston (3) F (small) F (large) _______ = _______ A (small) A (large) 1. A car lift has an input piston that has an area of 50 cm² and an output piston that has an area of 200 cm². If a 100 N force is applied to the input piston, what is the force produced by the output piston? 2. The input piston of a hydraulic system has an area of 5 cm², while the output piston has an area of 15 cm². What is the force needed to move an object 300 N? 3. A pneumatic system has a input piston with an area of 2 cm², while the output piston has an area of 10 cm². What is the force produced when 20 N are exerted on the input piston? 4. A local autobody needs a car lift that can lift cars that weigh as much as 10 000 N, but only require a force of 200 N. If the output piston has an area of 4 m². What is the necessary area for the input piston? 5. The force available to move a 500 N load is 100 N. If the area of the input piston is 50 cm², what will the area of the output piston be? 6. The Canadarm is a sophisticated hydraulic arm on the Space Shuttle. It is very effective in a weightless environment such as space. If he input piston has an area of 5 cm², and the output piston has an area of 25 cm². What magnitude of force will it be able to exert if 50 N of force is exerted by the user? Comment:
