Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A hydraulic lift has a small piston with an area of 0.5 m² and a large piston with an area of 5 m². If an input force of 100 N is applied to the small piston, what is the maximum load that can be lifted with the large piston?
💡 Hint: Use the ratio of areas to find the force.
Evaluate the hydraulic system efficiency if the input force is 50 N and the output force is 400 N but 50 N is lost due to friction.
💡 Hint: Take into account the forces and subtract friction before calculating.
