State the principle on which a hydraulic press works. 

  1. Archimedes principle

  2. Bernoulli's principle

  3. Pascals Law

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It works on the principle of Pascals law.
Pascal's law: Pressure on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished and acts with equal force on equal areas and at 90 degrees to the container wall.
Uses of hydraulic press - Hydraulic presses are commonly used for forging, clinching, moulding, blanking, punching, deep drawing, and metal forming operations.

The principle of fluid pressure that is used in hydraulic brakes or lifts is that.

  1. pressure is the same at all levels in a fluid.

  2. increases of pressure are transmitted equally to all parts of a fluid.

  3. the pressure at a point in a fluid is due to the weight of the fluid above it.

  4. increases of pressure can only be transmitted through fluids.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Answer is B.
Hydraulics is the use of a liquid under pressure to transfer force or motion, or to increase an applied force. The pressure on a liquid is called HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. And the brakes which are operated by means of hydraulic pressure are called HYDRAULIC BRAKES. These brakes are based on the principle of Pascals law. 
The Pascal law states that 'The pressure exerted anywhere in a mass of confined liquid is transmitted undiminished in all directions throughout the liquid'.

In a hydraulic lift, used at a service station the radius of the large and small piston are in the ratio of 20 : 1. What weight placed on the small piston will be sufficient to lift a car of mass 1500 kg ? 

  1. 3.75 kg

  2. 37.5 kg

  3. 7.5 kg

  4. 75 kg


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The answer is A.

Pressure is the amount of force acting per unit area. That is, P=F/A.
where:
p is the pressure,
F is the normal force,
A is the area of the surface on contact. Let us consider A = $\pi { r }^{ 2 }$.
Therefore, $\dfrac { { F } _{ 1 } }{ { \pi { r } _{ 1 } }^{ 2 } } =\dfrac { { F } _{ 2 } }{ { \pi { r } _{ 2 } }^{ 2 } } $.


In this case, $\dfrac { 1500 }{ { 20 }^{ 2 } } =\dfrac { W }{ { 1 }^{ 2 } } ,\quad W\quad =\quad 3.75\quad kg.$
Hence, weight to be placed on the small piston sufficient to lift a car of mass 1500 kg is 3.75 kg.

Hydraulic press is based upon :-

  1. Archimede's principle

  2. Bernoulli's theorem

  3. Pascal's law

  4. Reynold's number


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hydraulic press works on Pascal's principle, which states - “pressure throughout a closed system is constant.” 


In hydraulic press, there is a piston at one end of the system having a small cross-sectional area. This piston is driven by a lever. The other end of the system has small-diameter tubing. 
When a fluid is displaced, either of the pistons is pushed inward. Small piston displaces a smaller amount of volume than the large piston for a given distance of movement. The displaced fluid volume is proportional to the ratio of pistons' head areas. Hence, smaller piston moves a large distance to move large piston significantly. The large piston movement distance is equal to small piston movement distance divided by the ratio of the pistons' head areas.

at same depth  pressure is same   as for specific liquid density is constant and depth is same 
 for different liquid 
pressure at different depth can be same as  $\rho h$ can be constant for different liquid 
but for different liquid pressure at same depth cannot be same as density is different and depth is same so pressure cannot be same

A hydraulic machine exerts a force of 900 N on a piston of diameter 1.80 cm. The output force is exerted on a piston of diameter 36 cm. What will be the output force?

  1. $12\times 10^4 N$

  2. $16\times 10^4 N$

  3. $36\times 10^4 N$

  4. $38\times 10^4 N$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$f=900 N$
$a=\pi \times (\frac {1.8}{2})^2=\pi \times \frac {(1.8)^2}{4}$
$A=\pi \times (\frac {36}{2})^2=\pi \times \frac {(36)^2}{4}$
Now $\frac {f}{a}=\frac {F}{A}$
$\Rightarrow \frac {900\times 4}{\pi (1.8)^2}=\frac {F\times 4}{\pi \times (36)^2}$
$\therefore F=\frac {900\times 4}{\pi \times 1.8\times 1.8}\times \frac {\pi \times 36\times 36}{4}$
$=36\times 10^4N$.

  3. $1: 15$

  4. $1: 45$

Explanation:

We know that $P _{1} = P _{2}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{F _{1}}{A _{1}} = \dfrac{F _{2}}{A _{2}} $

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{A _{1}}{A _{2}} = \dfrac{F _{1}}{F _{2}}  = \dfrac{1}{30} $

$\Rightarrow  1:30 $

In a hydraulic lift, used at a service station the radius of the large and small piston are in the ratio of $20 : 1$. What weight placed on the small piston will be sufficient to lift a car of mass $1500 kg$ ?

  1. $3.75 kg$

  2. $37.5 kg$

  3. $7.5 kg$

  4. $75 kg$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Answer is A.

Pressure is the amount of force acting per unit area. That is, $P=F/A$.
where:
$p$ is the pressure,
$F$ is the normal force,
$A$ is the area of the surface on contact. Let us consider A = $\pi { r }^{ 2 }$.
Therefore, $\dfrac { { F } _{ 1 } }{ { \pi { r } _{ 1 } }^{ 2 } } =\dfrac { { F } _{ 2 } }{ { \pi { r } _{ 2 } }^{ 2 } } $.
In this case, $\dfrac { 1500 }{ { 20 }^{ 2 } } =\dfrac { W }{ { 1 }^{ 2 } } ,\quad W\quad =\quad 3.75\quad kg.$
Hence, weight to be placed on the small piston sufficient to lift a car of mass 1500 kg is 3.75 kg.

To avoid vaporization in the pipe line, the pipe line over the bridge is laid such that it is not more than

  1. 2.4m above hydraulic gradient

A hydraulic press has a ram of 15 cm diameter and plunger is 1.5 cm. It is required to lift a weight of 1 tonne. The force required on plunger is

  1. 10kg

  2. 100 kg

  3. 1000 kg

  4. 1 kg


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Weight on the ram  $F  =  mg=1000\times 10 = 10000$

Using Pascal's law      $\dfrac{F}{A } = constant$              where $A = \pi D^2$
$\therefore$      $\dfrac{10000}{(15)^2 } =\dfrac{F _p}{(1.5)^2}$              $\implies F _p = 100$ N $= 10\ kgf$

Thus, force required on plunger is $10\ kgf$

In a typical hydraulic press, a force of 20 N is exerted on small piston of area 0.050 m2. What is force exerted by large piston on load if it has an area of 0.50 m2?

  1. 200N

  2. 100N

  3. 50N

  4. 10N


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using   $\dfrac{F _1}{A _1} = \dfrac{F _2}{A _2}$

$\therefore$   $\dfrac{20}{0.05} = \dfrac{F _2}{0.5}$            $\implies F _2 = 200$  N
