How does a hydraulic system achieve a increase in force?

Pascal's law states that pressure exerted anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid.Pressure= Force divided by Area, that is Force = pressure*Area, as pressure remains constant as per Pascal's Law, if area increases force increases .So if we applied small force on a piston of small radius anywhere in a confined incompressible liquid, we will get large force on a piston of larger radius.


If a 3 N force is applied to the small piston of a hydraulic lift with an aarea of 0.5 m3 how much force will be applied to the large piston if it has an area of 2 m3?

6 m^3


How force is different from pressure?

Pressure is force divide by unit area. Thus, if you have an air pressure of 100,000 Pascal, that means you have a force of 100,000 newton over an area of 1 square meter. It also means there is a force of 200,000 newton over an area of 2 square meters, a million newton over an area of 10 square meters, etc.

Gravity.


When stretched a rubber band why does it come back and hit and give pain to the fingers?

This is two different questions:- 1) Why does it come back? Newton's Third Law of Motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, you've stretched it out; it will now come back. 2) Why does it hurt? A force exerted on a relatively-small area of nerves will hurt more than the same force applied over a relatively-large area. For example, stabbing a balloon with a needle will burst it; laying a large book on top of it will not burst it.

Do you need a large force to obtain a large pressure?

No! Pressure is force per unit area: p=f/a. Thus it does not require a large force to produce a large pressure; reducing the area increases the pressure for the same applied force. The thumbtack, for example, can be considered to be a pressure amplifier since a small force applied to the head becomes a very large force at the pointed end of the thumbtack. Not if you have a narrow bore pipe.


Use of air pressure lift based on pascal's law?

according to pascals law pressure is transmitted equally and undiminised in all direction. So Force=pressure x area. such machines one side area is small and other side is large. A small force is applied to small area and according to the equation it produces large force.,


We cannot walk comfortably on sand but camels can run in a desert easily?

Answer: It is because camel’s feet have large surface area, the force of their weight is distributed over a large area of sand. The pressure produced on sand is small and hence, a camel’s feet do not sink into the sand. On the other hand, a man’s feet have a small surface area, the force of their weight is distributed over a smaller area of sand. The force per unit area or pressure produced on sand is large in this case due to which a man’s feet sink into sand and it becomes difficult for him to walk on sand.


How is pressure related to the area over which force acts?

The area over which a force acts, is proportional to the pressure. When the area is large then, the pressure acted on it is also large, so the force is greater.


Why do hydraulic devices apply a small force over a small area?

Hydraulic devices apply a small force over a small area to magnify the pressure delivered to the opposite end. This is vindicated by the formula Pressure = Force per unit Area.
