Pressure, Force, Displacement
Pressure occurs in a fluid when it is subjected to a force.
P= F/A
1 Pa =1N/m²,1Pa=0.000001MPa=0.00001bar
1bar=0.1MPa
1atm=101,325Pa=1.01325bar
Pressure can also arise in a fluid from the weight of a fluid. This is
usually known as the head pressure and depends on the height of
fluid. The pressure at the bottom of the fluid is directly
proportional to height h.
hydraulic piston
Example-2:-For the hydraulic jack shown the
following data are given:
A1= 25cm2; A2=100cm2; F1=200N; S1=5cm;
Determine F2, S2, the energy input and the energy
output of the system?
Exercise
The hydraulic jack, shown is filled with oil. The large and
small pistons have diameters of 75 and 25 mm, respectively.
What force on the handle is required to support a load of 8896
N? If the force moves down by 125 mm, how far is the
weight lifted?
