Concept explainers
QV: a hydraulic press is used to compact powdered samples. The device is made of two interconnected cylindrical chambers filled with oil if density psubscripto anc closed by two pistons. The small chamber on the right has diameter d and the large chamber on the left has diameter 5d. A lever is attached to the piston pushing down on the fluid in the small cylinder. The horizontal lever is hinged on the left, at distance L from the small piston, and a force of magnitude Fsubscript0 is applied vertically down at distance 2L from the hinge (Fig.5). You may assume that the lever and pistons have negligible mass.
a. Determine the magnitude of the force Fin that the small piston exerts on the fluid in the small cylinder. Hint: you may consider that the lever is at rest in the horizontal position.
b. Determine the pressure change applied to the fluid by the small piston.
c. Determine the magnitude Fout of the force that the fluid applies to the large piston.

- Need solution through half hr pleasearrow_forwardFormula to be used: Where: Please take note! Calculating Pressure in a Static Fluid or P = pgh or P = yh p is the fluid's density (kg/m³ or lbm/ft³) g is the acceleration due to gravity y is the specific weight of the fluid (N/m³ or lbf/ft³) W is the weight of the fluid (N or lbf) A is the area of the bottom of the vessel containing the liquid (m² or ft²) h is the depth/height of the fluid (m or ft) P = P = 1248 h that will be used for the formula may be different from the given height of liquid in a problem. Refer to the sample problem below for clarification on this matter. Sample Problem For the dam shown on the right, find the pressure at point 20 feet below the surface of the water. Solution: Here, we will not use h = 40 ft since we are asked to compute the pressure at point 20 feet below the surface of the water. So, here is the appropriate approach to this problem. P = yh The specific weight of water is 62.4 lbf/ft³. lbf P = (62.4 ft3) (20 ft) lbf ft² 40 ft 20 ftarrow_forwardDon't Use Chat GPT Will Upvotearrow_forward
- Fluid Machinearrow_forwardcan you help me with part c) pleasearrow_forwardA cylindrical steel container 8m high and 3m in diameter is reinforced with two hoops a meter from each end. If the contained liquid is water, determine the: a) total hydrostatic force and normal force acting on the wall of the tank b) tension of hoop at the bottom and tension of hoop at the top c) with an allowable stress of 0.12 GPa, compute the thickness of the steel required.arrow_forward
- A hydraulic press is used to raise an 80 kN cargo truck. If oil of specific gravity 0.82 acts on the piston under pressure of 10Mpa. What is the diameter of piston required?arrow_forward2. A closed tank mounted on a truck 6m long, 2.50m wide, and 2m high is transporting oil (SG=0.85) at 85% capacity. Determine the a. required horizontal acceleration to the left causing a pressure of 5 kPa at the front wall. b. total force acting on the side with greatest depth. c. If the force at "b" is increased by 30 kN, what will be the new horizontal acceleration?arrow_forward
