If a cylinder has an input pressure of 50 psi and the blank side of the piston is 5 sq inches how much total force is applied by the piston?

Multiply the number of square inches times the pounds per square inch. In this case, 5 x 50- or 250 pounds of force.

How does reciprocating compressor works?
As the piston moves up and down, it pushes air at increasing pressure into a cylinder.
How does hydraulic pressure create a mechanical advantage in a simple hydraulic jack?
to understand this answer we have to assume the following as givin fact. fluids do not compress, that out of the way, the hydraulic piston you push is a smaller diameter than the piston that does the work. for example lets say that you are using a 1 square inch piston as the one you are pressing, and you are using a 100 square inch piston as the one doing work. these numbers are greatly exaggerated but will work for the example if you put 10 pounds of pressure on the 1 inch cylinder, you will have 10 psi of pressure. when this is routed to the 100 square inch cylinder you will still have 10 psi of pressure, but now it is acting on 100 square inches (10 pounds per square inch times 100 square inches) this would calculate to 1000 pounds. it would be the same as a 1001 inch lever with the fulcrum being 1 inch in from one end, only you would exert force on the larger lever to gain a mechanical advantage. hydraulics used in this way are known as liquid levers
What is the clearance between piston and cyclender head?
Piston is the device with a cup like shape that fit completely in the Cylinder.
What is the function of a reciprocating compressor?
To provide moisture free compressed air to a pneumatic system that operates pneumatic motors.
Who invented that the up and down piston movement in a cylinder converted into rotary motion?
Al-Jazari,a Kurdish engineer, invented the conversion of the up and down piston movement in a cylinder into rotary motion.
What is the piston displacement of a master cylinder with a 1.5 inch diameter bore and a piston stroke of 4 inches?
9.4247 cubic inches
Is piston cylinder process is constant pressure process or constan volume process?
A piston cylinder process actually includes two processes. The gas inside the piston undergoes both the constant pressure process and the contant volume process.
If a Master Cylinder piston applies pressure to a brake piston that has twice as much square area what will be the Force from the second piston?
Twice as much
What is the function of the wheel cylinder?
A piston on each end of the wheel cylinder pushes outward when the brakes are applied. This pushes the brake shoes against the brake drum and stops the vehicle. The pistons are forced out by the pressure of the brake fluid inside the wheel cylinder when you apply the brakes.

Why piston rings are too loos on piston?
gas pressure has to get round the back of the ring to force it against the cylinder wall
How do you calculate which size cylinder bore is required for a hydraulic power pack?
First you need to know what force is required. The pressure the cylinder is going to work at. From this you can wok out the area of the piston and then the diameter of the piston. Force = Pressure x Area
What happens when pressure is applied to both ports on a hydraulic cylinder?
If you apply the same pressure to both ports, then the piston will move. This is because the areas of the piston are different, due to the piston rod on one side. The force on the large area will be P x A1 and the opposing force will be P x A2, where A2 is less than A1 by the area of the piston rod. The resultant force will be P x (A1-A2).
How much force does a cylinder produce with 2000 psi acting on a piston area of 5 inches squared?
force = pressure x area = 2000 x 5 = 10,000 pounds
What function does the cylinder perform in the braking system?
A piston on each end of the wheel cylinder pushes outward when the brakes are applied. This pushes the brake shoes against the brake drum and stops the vehicle. The pistons are forced out by the pressure of the brake fluid inside the wheel cylinder when you apply the brakes.

What measures the force of compression?
To measure a force, depends on how the force is applied. For example if it is a piston rod actuated by a piston, you can measure the pressure inside the cylinder containing the piston, this may be filled with gas or liquid, and calculate the force from the area of the piston/cylinder. If it is a lever system, work out the mechanical advantage of the levers and multiply by the actuating force, probably obtained as above. You can also measure force directly using a strain gauge between the applying force and the object.
