Question

please solve question with full working steps and include assumption in beginning.



The hydraulic jack shown below consists of a master cylinder with a diameter of 60mm and a lifting (or slave) cylinder with a diameter of 150mm. The two cylinders are connected by a flexible high pressure hose with a diameter of 10mm.The density of the hydraulic fluid that fills the jack is 15,000kg/m3.


The jack is being used to lift a 5 tonne mass through a vertical distance of 50mm. Initially the hydraulic fluid heights are hA=150mm and hB=400mm.


What is initial force that is required to be applied at location B to lift the weight off the ground?


Develop and expression for the force at B that varies with the lift height at location A Hint: From the conservation of mass and the fact that the hydraulic fluid is incompressible, the volume of fluid displaced at locations A and B must be the same.



What is percentage increase in the force that is required to be applied at location B when the mass is 50mm off the ground compared to the initial force?

Explanation / Answer

the pressure on both sides will be the same and as the pressure is force / area


thus as area at B is smaller than that at B thus the force required at B will be lesser than that requred at A



work done in both the vessels will be same


Force at A x displacement at A = force at B x displacement at B


weight at A = 5000 x 9.8 = 49000N


lifted thru = 50mm = 0.05m


work = force x displacement = 49000 x 0.05 = 2450 Nm


so at B


work = 2450 Nm


volume of liquid that flows from B to A = area of cross section of A x height


= 3.14 x .15^2/4 x .05 = 0.00088 m^3



volume at B = area x height = 3.14 x 0.06^2/4 x h


as both volumes are equal


thus height moves by B


0.00282 x hb = 0.00088


hb = 0.31123 m


so


work done at B = force at B x height


2450 = Fb x .31123


Fb = 7871.83 N
