Extra Practice Pascal/Hydraulic Problems
What force would you need to apply to a small piston with an area of .36m^2 if you have a large piston with an area of 4.5 m^2 and you wanted to lift an object weighing 5,000N? (ans 400N)
What is the area of the small piston if it can use 80 N of force to lift and an object weighing 7,500N with a big piston of area 1.75m^2? (ans .019m^2)
How much area would a large piston need to have in order to lift an object weighing 50,000N if the small piston that it is attached to has an area of .12m^2 and you only want to have to apply a force of 75N? (ans 80m^2)
How heavy of an object could you lift with an hydraulic system that consisted of a small piston with area of .23m^2 and a force of 95N and a large piston with an area of 7.5m^2? (ans 3,098N)
What force necessary to apply to the small piston if its area is .025m^2 and the large piston has an area of 2.5 m^2. You want to lift an object weighing 18,000 N?
Ans 180N
What force necessary to apply to the small piston if its area is .030m^2 and the large piston has an area of 2.3 m^2. You want to lift an object weighing 20,000 N?
Ans 260.9N
How much could a hydraulic system lift with 100N of force on the small piston if it has an area of .045m^2 and the large piston has an area of 3.6m^2?
Ans 7,999N
How much could a hydraulic system lift with 120N of force on the small piston if it has an area of .030m^2 and the large piston has an area of 2.75m^2?
Ans 11,000N
What area would the large piston have to have in order to lift an object with a weight of 10,000N if the small piston has an area of .025m^2 and a force of 200N is applied to it?
Ans 1.25m^2
