Transcribed Image Text:### Hydraulic System with Dual Compartments
This diagram showcases a hydraulic system composed of two interconnected compartments, labeled A and B, filled with oil. The system features a 10-kilogram floating piston, situated within a vertical section of the apparatus.
#### Key Dimensions and Components:
1. **Floating Piston:**
- Weight: 10 kilograms
- Positioned vertically above compartment A.
- Located in a tube with a diameter of 4.0 cm.
2. **Tube Dimensions:**
- The vertical tube housing the piston extends downward, creating a vertical length of 100 cm before connecting horizontally to compartment B.
3. **Compartments:**
- **Compartment A:**
- Width: 20 cm
- Combined height with Compartment B: 60 cm
- Filled with oil
4. **Compartments:**
- **Compartment B:**
- Position: Below Compartment A, interconnected horizontally by the tube.
#### System Analysis:
- The oil within compartments A and B, under the influence of the 10 kg piston, will be subjected to pressure that can be calculated using principles of fluid dynamics and statics.
This illustration is an excellent tool for understanding the balance of forces and fluid properties in a hydraulic system, which will be useful in various fields, including mechanical engineering, physics, and other applied sciences.
