Force for the hydraulic system?
Pressurized fluid (hydraulic oil, water or some other liquid) provides the force in a hydraulic system.
How is energy conserved in a Hydraulic system?
The consertvation of energy in a hydraulic system could be understood by the formular (ENERGY = FORCE x DISTANCE) that represents mechanical energy. Now the hydraulic system consist mainly of two set of pistons which are the master where the energy is applied to the system and the slave where energy leaves the system to the load. Irrespective of the force diffence of the master piston and the slave piston, they will always give the same value when multiplied with distance moved by their respective pistons. This prove that the difference in forces experienced or distance moved by the master and slave piston did not alter the amount of energy in the hydraulic system since energy can be seen as force x distance ;)
What is differences between mechanical and hydraulic brakes?
mechanical and hydraulic are two different power transmission medium. in mechanical brakes solid links or levers are used to achieve the required braking. in hydraulic brakes there are no links, here the braking is achieved by the hydraulic fluid, the hydraulic system in which the force applied at the brake pedal is multiplied several times to achieve the requied braking.
How does a hydraulic device work?
a hydraulic system multiplies a force by applying the force to a small surface area.the increase in pressure is then transmitted to another part of a confined fluid, which pushes on a larger surface area
How can pressure by amplified through hydraulic mechanisms?
Pressure is not amplified by a hydraulic system. You apply a force to a small area,and that creates a pressure equal to (your force)/(the small area).The key that makes hydraulic systems useful is the fact that this pressure goeseverywhere throughout the whole sealed system, and exerts the same pressureeverythere. So in another part of the system, there's a movable plate that has1,000 times the area of the little spot that you pushed on. But it has the samepressure against it that you exerted against the small area.The total force on the big area is (pressure) x (the big area) =(your force)/(the small area) x (the big area) =(your force)/(the small area) x (1,000 x the small area) = 1,000 x times your force !The hydraulic system amplifies the total force, by applying the same pressureto a larger area.
