A hydraulic press has a safety feature which consists of a hydraulic cylinder with a piston at one end and a safety valve at the other. The cylinder has a radius of 0.0200 m and the safety valve is simply a 0.00750-m radius circular opening at one end, sealed with a disk. The disk is held in place by a spring with a spring constant of 950 N/m that has been compressed 0.0085 m from its natural length. Determine the magnitude of the minimum force that must be exerted on the piston in order to open the safety valve.

Answer:

Explanation:

radius of cylinder r₁ = .02 m

radius of safety valve r₂ = .0075 m

force exerted by spring on safety valve = 950 x .0085 = 8.075 N .

Force required on piston of cylinder = F

Applying Pascal's law

8.075 / 3.14 x .0075²  =  F / 3.14 x .02²

F = 8.075 x .02² / .0075²

= 8.075 x 7.111

= 57.42 N .
