1.12 There are two (2) hydraulic cylinders (actuators), one 2 meters long, one 4
meters, both have a volume of 20 litres and a system supply pump delivering 40
litres a minute.
Both, as they both have equal volumes and flow rates, however, the longer
cylinder will travel at twice the speed of the shorter one.
1.13 There are two (2) hydraulic cylinders (actuators), one 2 meters long, one 4
meters, both have a volume of 20 litres and a system supply pump delivering 40
litres a minute.
The 2 meter cylinder. Because Force = Pressure x Area, and in this case, the
flow rates are equal, as the 2 meter cylinder has a greater area, it will transmit
greater force.

1.14 Explain the effect to the pressure in a hydraulic circuit, if there is resistance
to flow (Figure 4).
Figure 5
1.15 Using Figure 5, indicate the direction (using an arrow) the ram will move if the
same hydraulic pressure is applied to both A and B chambers. Explain Why.
If equal pressure is applied to both chambers, the actuator will extend due to
“A” having a larger surface area.

1.16 Using Figure 6, indicate which cylinder (A or B) will have the fastest piston
speed, if flow rate into each cylinder is the same. State why.
