Answer:
The maximum force that can be lifted by this system is 51,478.4 kg
Explanation:
Given;
maximum gauge pressure of the hydraulic system, Hp = 15 atm = 1.52 x 10⁶ N/m²
diameter of the piston, d = 65 cm = 0.65 m
The maximum gauge pressure of the piston is given as;
[tex]Hp = \frac{F}{A}[/tex]
Where;
F is the maximum force of the piston
A is the area of the piston
[tex]A = \pi (\frac{0.65}{2} )^2\\\\A = 0.3319 \ m^2[/tex]
F = Hp x A
F = 1.52 x 10⁶N/m² x 0.3319m²
F = 504488 N
Force is given as;
F = mg
m = F/g
m = 504488/9.8
m = 51,478.4 kg
Therefore, the maximum force that can be lifted by this system is 51,478.4 kg
