In the figure shown below, cylinder A has pump piston, whereas B and C cylinder have lift pistons. If the maximum weight that can be placed on the pump piston is 50 kgwt, what is the maximum weight that can be lifted by piston in the cylinder B? Find the total mechanical adventage. ("Take g 10 m s"^(-2)). |

Answer» SOLUTION :Is the pressure exerted on cylinder 'A' (pump piston) equal to the pressure EXPERIENCED by lift pistons in B and C cylinders ? FIND the area of cross sections of the pistons in cylinders 'A' and 'B'. Then, find the pressure on the liquid in cylinder 'A' by `50" KG"_(wt)`. Use formula, `P=(F)/(A)`.(1) The same pressue is exerted on lift piston in cylinder 'B'. Find the maximum weight that can be lifted by the piston in the cylinder 'B' by using the formula, `W=PxxA=Pxxpi((1)/(4)m)^(2)`. (2) Put value of P from (1) into (2). Here, TOTAL mechanical advantage `=("Total load")/("Total effort")`. (3) Find the value of total mechanical advantage. |
