PASSAGE BASED PROBLEMS

PASSAGE-1
A characteristic property of the fluid at rest is that when pressure is applied to an enclosed fluid it is
transmitted equally in all directions through a mass of fluid. This is called the Pascals law and forms
the working principle of hydraulic press, hydraulic jack etc.
The hydraulic press consists of two cylinders which are interconnected at the bottom through a
pipeline and are filled with some liquid. The larger cylinder contains a ram of area A and a plunger
of area a reciprocates (moves up & down) inside the smaller cylinder. Suppose a small force f is
applied at the plunger. This force produces a pressure P =

f
in the liquid which in accordance with
a

the Pascals law is transmitted to the ram. The force that is generated there is
F=P.A=

f

Fig. : Working principle of hydraulic press

Now, by design A >> a so that F >> f and we can lift a heavy load e.g. an automobile through this
large force. So, in essence, the hydraulic press is a machine which saves the effort.
In a hydraulic press, the ram has a diameter 30 cm and the pluger 5 cm.
37.

To lift a load of 20kN, the force that should be applied to the plunger is (Neglect all losses due to
friction, visosity etc.)
(A) 3.33 kN
(B) 180 kN
(C) 555.6 N
(D) 55.56 N

If the plunger moves by 30 cm, the distance moved by ram is

(A) 5 cm
(B) 0.83 cm
(C) 0.083 cm
(D) 0.5 cm

39.

After the pluger moves down and the ram is raised, the ram is held in its place by a mechanism and
the plunger is raised back to its original position. This constitutes one stroke of the plunger. If the
plunger makes 100 strokes per minute, the power required to operate it is
(A) 277.67 W
(B) 1.67 105 W
(C) 2.7 105 W
(D) 1.67 106 W
