Question
A booster pump on a brake system designed to be used horizontally consists of two cylinders capped by pistons connected by a hose. The cylinders and hose are filled with an incompressible fluid. The system produces a mechanical advantage of six times; that is, the output force is six times as great as the input force. If the cross-sectional area of the input piston is 2.0 in2, how large (in in2) must the area of the output piston be?

- A company has several sensors in storage silos to detect the total pressure in the silos to ensure the tanks will not leak. Each tank is designed to withstand a maximum total pressure of 5.8 atmospheres [atm]. An engineer wants to use one of the silos to store liquid nitric acid, which has a density of 97 pound-mass per cubic foot [lbm/ft3].If the tank is filled to a depth of 90 feet [ft], how much surface pressure in units of atmospheres [atm] can be applied to the top of the liquid inside the tank without exceeding the maximum total pressure of the silo?arrow_forwardA hydraulic brake system consists of the brake pedal, a master cylinder, a brake cylinder, a brake shoe, and a wheel drum (see the figure below). When the driver exerts a force Fprake on the pedal, the result is a force of friction f on the wheel drum and hence a frictional torque about the axle. The master cylinder piston's cross-sectional area Ame is 1.80 cm2, while the brake cylinder piston's cross-sectional area Anc is 6.40 cm2. The coefficient of friction between the brake shoe and 'mc the drum is 0.500, and the wheel drum has a radius of 44.3 cm.

The sorting process starts by downloading the dumpster from the transport truck and then dumping its contents into a large hopper as shown below. The waste management plant uses a hydraulic cylinder arrangement to tilt the dumpster to the point that the force of gravity will empty the contents. The plant operator activates an electric pump that pumps hydraulic oil into the input piston at an absolute pressure of 2.50 x 106 Pa and drives the output plunger, which has a radius of 0.230 m. If the design of the dumping arrangement is such that the output plunger remains perpendicular to the floor of the dumpster, determine the torque the plunger creates about an axis at the end of the dumpster. Enter a number. Frect pressure to use for the pressure in the oil at the site of the input piston? According to Pascal's Law, how is the pressure in the oil at the site of the output plunger related to the pressure in the oil…arrow_forward
