Week 1 Review Assignment

Problem 1
A hydraulic fluid has a specific weight of 60 lb/ft3. What is its specific gravity SG? What is its density ρ?

Problem 2
Eleven liters of SAE 30 oil weighs 92 N. Calculate the oil’s
a. Specific weight
b. Density
c. Specific gravity

Problem 3
Convert a -6 kPa (negative 6 kiloPascal) pressure to an absolute pressure in kPa.

Problem 4
A hydraulic cylinder has a 275 mm diameter. How much oil pressure P (kPa) is required to produce
12500 N force at its piston?

Problem 5
An oil (SG = 0.87) has a viscosity of 187 SUS at 120 oF. Find the corresponding viscosity in units of cS
(centiStokes) and cP (centiPoise).

Problem 6
In the hydraulic jack shown, a force of 100 N is exerted on the small piston.
Determine the upward force on the large piston. The area of the small piston
is 65 cm2, and the area of the large piston is 950 cm2. If the small piston
moves 12 cm, how far will the large move? Assume the oil to be incompressible.
