Answer:
a) 24 kg
b) 32 kg
Explanation:
The gauge pressure is of the gas is equal to the weight of the piston divided by its area:
p = P / A
p = m * g / (π/4 * d^2)
Rearranging
p * (π/4 * d^2) = m * g
m = p * (π/4 * d^2) / g
m = 1200 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 24 kg
After the weight is added the gauge pressure is 2.8kPa
The mass of piston plus addded weight is
m2 = 2800 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 56 kg
56 - 24 = 32 kg
The mass of the added weight is 32 kg.
Answer: a) The technology that deals with the generation, control and transmission of power using pressurized fluids
Explanation: Fluid power is defined as the fluids which are under pressure and then are used for generation,control and transmit the power. Fluid power systems produces high forces as well as power in small amount . These systems usually tend to have better life if maintained properly. The force that are applied on this system can be monitored by gauges as well as meter.
The answer seems pretty obvious, all of the above
