Answer to Question #49046 in Engineering for aslan

Question

The figure shows the cross section of a hydraulic ram filled with oil (incompressible fluid) in the working chamber of Cylinder 2 (which is on the right hand side of the piston in the figure) whereby the fluid is acting on the the piston face on an effective area A2.
A supply of pressure is connected to the working chamber of Cylinder 2, delivering a pressure P2 of 4 bar.
The diameter of Cylinder 2 is given as 150 mm.
The diameter of the piston push rod is given as 30 mm.
Q: Calculate the x component value of the vector force F2 produced onto the piston by pressure P2 in the cylinder, according to the coordinate system shown in the figure.
Give your answer in Newtons.
