hydraulic lift system has an input piston with an area of 0,5 m2 and an output piston whith an area of 2 m2.
What force is needes to lift a load of 1000 N?
Draw a system diagram for the above question
To calculate the force needed to lift a load of 1000 N using the hydraulic lift system with an input piston area of 0.5 m2 and an output piston area of 2 m2, we can use the equation:
Force output = Force input x (Area output / Area input)
Force output = 1000 N x (2 m2 / 0.5 m2)
Force output = 1000 N x 4
Force output = 4000 N
Therefore, a force of 4000 N is needed to lift a load of 1000 N in this hydraulic lift system.
The system diagram for the hydraulic lift system is as follows:
