Fluid Mechanics

STATIC PRESSURE OF LIQUIDS , HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, ABSOLUTE AND GAUGE PRESSURE: Numerical Q1. A hydraulic press has a diameter ratio between the two  piston  of 8:1. The diameter of the larger piston is 600 mm and it is required to support a mass of 3500 kg. The press filled with hydraulic fluid of  sp.gravity  0.8. Calculate the force required on the smaller piston to provide the required force: a)  When  the two pistons are at the same level. B) When the smaller piston is 2.6 m below the larger piston . Solution.                                                                     F2=536.48N F2=625.94N Q2. The diameter of the piston of a hydraulic jack is 6 times greater than the diameter of the plunger which is 200 mm. They are both at same ...
