The flaps of an executive jet are controlled using a hydraulic system. A force of 1 kN acts on the 40 mm diameter master piston.
 

What force would need to be developed to move the flap if the slave piston has a diameter of 100 mm?   (3 marks)

`6.25\ text{kN}`

Show Worked Solution

`P=F/A`

`1000/(pi xx 20^2)` `=F_S/(pi xx 50^2)`  
`F_S` `=(1000 xx pi xx 50^2)/(pi xx 20^2)=6250\ text{N}=6.25\ text{kN}`

  • Bernoulli’s principle states that the higher the pressure is, the lower the velocity will be.
  • This is illustrated in the diagram as it shows that there is a decreased pressure in the thinner, higher velocity section.
