7. In the hydraulic jack shown in the figure below, a force of 100 N is exerted on the
small piston. Determine a) the upward force on the large piston. The area of the small
piston is 50 cm2, and the area of the large piston is 500 cm2. If the small piston moves
10 cm, b) how far will the large piston move?
8. The figure below shows a pneumatic/hydraulic system used to lift a load. If the inlet
air pressure is 500 kPa, determine the maximum load that can be lifted.

9. A gear pump has a 8.25 cm outside diameter, a 5.75 cm inside diameter, and a 2.5
cm width. If the actual pump flow rate at 1800 rpm is 110 Lpm, what is the volumetric
efficiency?

a. Hydraulic pressure during the extending stroke
b. Piston velocity during the extending stroke
c. Cylinder horsepower during the extending stroke
