    This document discusses a simple hydraulic jack and asks questions about its operation. It asks the reader to determine the pressures at points A and B on the jack, the output force, and why the jack can be called a force multiplier. It also asks how increasing the area of the output piston or decreasing the area of the input piston would affect the jack.

    7 – Hydraulic Systems* Student: _________________________________________

    1. The diagram on the right shows a simple


    hydraulic jack. Assuming that the jack is frictionless:
    a. What is the pressure at A?
    b. What is the pressure at B?
    c. What is the output force?
    d. Explain why the jack can be called a force
    multiplier.
    2. In the jack on the right, what would be the effect of:
    a. increasing the area of the output piston?
    b. decreasing the area of the input piston?
