Consider the automobile hydraulic system shown in the figure below. 0.60 cm F. 0.040 F2 0.20 m Master cylinder F= 100 N Slave A force of 100N is applied to the brake pedal, which acts on the cylinder-called the master-through a lever. A force of 500 N is exerted on the master cylinder. Pressure created in the master cylinder is transmitted to four so-called sla cylinders. The master cylinder has a diameter of 0.60 cm, and each slave cylinder has a diameter of 2.50 cm. How much pressure is transmitted in the hydraulic system? Express your answer in pascals and in atmospheres. pressure in Pa Pa pressure in atm atm
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
