If a hydra cylinder is to compress a car body down to bale size in 8 seconds the operation requires an 8 foot stroke and a 10000 pound of force if a 1000 psi pump has been selected and assuming the c?

Answer 1

To determine if a 1000 psi pump can effectively compress the car body, we first need to calculate the required hydraulic area needed to generate 10,000 pounds of force. Using the formula ( \text{Force} = \text{Pressure} \times \text{Area} ), we find that the required area is ( \text{Area} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Pressure}} = \frac{10,000 \text{ lbs}}{1000 \text{ psi}} = 10 \text{ in}^2 ). With an 8-foot stroke and an appropriate cylinder size that fits this area, the pump should be capable of achieving the desired compression in the specified time, assuming the hydraulic system is well-designed and efficient.
