Recall how hydraulic systems function.
Question 5.
A hydraulic system has two cylinders: one with a small area of 2 m² and the other with an area of 8 m². If a force of 100 N is applied to the smaller cylinder, what force will be exerted on the larger cylinder?
Show hintHide hint
Use the pressure equation and remember that pressure is the same in connected parts of a hydraulic system.
Question 6.
Construct a model to illustrate how changing the area of a surface affects pressure. Describe your model and the expected outcome.
