Consider a hydraulic jack being used in a car repair shop. The pistons have an area of A1 = 0.8 cm2 and A2 = 0.04 m2. Hydraulic oil with a specific gravity of 0.870 is pumped in as the small piston on the left side is pushed up and down, slowly raising the larger piston on the right side. A car that weighs 13,000 N is to be jacked up. (a) At the beginning, when both pistons are at the same elevation (h = 0), calculate the force F in newtons required to hold the weight of the car. (b) Repeat the calculation after the car has been lifted two meters (h = 2 m). Compare and discuss.

A:

Fluid Pressure

The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.

Gauge Pressure

Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
