Hello, I want to know the English translation of "flessione e piegamento" according to the movement theory and not as training techniques. In Italian, I distinguish Flexion (flessione), the passage from the long to the short position without load, and Bending (piegamento): the same movement but with the load. Can Flex and Bending be correct?Thanks and best regardsMario Canepa

A hydraulic press must be used to press-fit two components together in an assembly process. The system must generate at least 975 lb of force to perform the press fit. The piston at the input cylinder is pushed with a force of 250 lb and has an area of 30 in.2. The output can use up to 15 cylinders that are each 30 in.?. How many output cylinders must be incorporated into the design? Hint (you cannot have a fraction of a tangible item - i.e. you cannot have a decimal of a cylinder)
