Hi all,
I have this question in my HND...
A hydraulic jack has a load piston diameter of 150mm and a plunger diameter of 25mm.
a) Ignoring losses, calculate the force required on the plunger to raise a load of 2500Kg.
I have calculated my answer (correct or not i don't know) to be:
11.58Kg
a) Calculate how many strokes of the plunger will be required to raise the load by 180mm, if each stroke of the plunger is 100mm long.
I am stuck on this one, there is nothing about it in my learning material and I cannot find it online. To me the obvious is
180 / 100 = 1.8 but I'm positive this is wrong as its far, far too simple!
Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
Thanks,
