  1. Hydraulic Machines WALT- Explain how water pressure may help us WILF – Notes taken, questions answered

  2. 1. What do we mean when we say that a machine is “hydraulic”? • ________________________________________________________________

  3. 2. Fill in the gaps by crossing out the incorrect phrases: • There are the four key properties of liquids that are important to remember when looking at hydraulic machines:

  4. Liquids will always (flow to take the shape of their container/ keep the same shape) no matter what container you use. • If you have a fixed amount of liquid, then its volume (can change / will always stays the same) when pressure is applied to it. • The pressure in a fluid (acts in all directions / acts in the direction of the applied force). • If a constant force acts throughout a liquid, the pressure (can vary / stays the same) throughout the liquid.

  5. Each of these properties can be explained by thinking of the way particles thatmake up the fluid move and interact with each other. How? 3. A mechanic wants to inspect the bottom of a car for a leak. She tries to lift the car using a hydraulic lift.

  6. a) On the diagram overleaf, draw and label arrows to show the direction in which each of the following forces act: • The mass of the car acting on its piston • The force exerted by the mechanic on her piston • The hydraulic force of the liquid acting on the car’s piston

  7. b) The area underneath the mechanic’s piston is 0.1m2, and the area underneath the car’s piston is 10m2. If the car weighs 1000kg, how much force does the mechanic need to apply to lift it? (Hint: remember force is measured in Newtons, not kilograms!)

  8. **Bonus question** • c) If the mechanic pushes her piston down by 2 metres, by what distance is the car lifted?

  9. Revision Questions Pressure & Moments

  10. Calculate the pressure exerted in the following situations. • A 200 N weight with a surface area of 2 m2. • A 800 N man wearing shoes with a surface area of 400 cm2. • A 10 N bag of flour with a surface area of 200 cm2. • A 20 000 N car, assuming each tyre has a contact area of 100 cm2. 100 N/m2 2 N/cm2 0.05 N/cm2 2000 N/cm2

  11. A workman tightening a nut applies a force of 100 N to his spanner, 0.2 m from the nut. What is the moment of force? • How can he increase the moment of force? • A panda weighing 400 N sits 1 m from the pivot on a see-saw. What is the moment? • How far away would a panda cub weighing 200 N have to sit on the other side to balance him? 20 Nm or 2000 Ncm Increase Distance from Pivot/Force 400 Nm 2 m

  12. Oh no! • YouTube - Man Falls Through Roof 4 times! • YouTube - Dumb Woman Falls Through Ice

  13. Spread the force over a greater area

  14. Camels

  15. Snow shoes

  16. Caterpillar tracks

  17. House foundations

  18. I had a dream

  19. Sharp?

  20. Drawing pins

  21. Pressure N Pressure = Force Area N/m2 or Pa m2

  22. Pressure F N Pressure = Force Area P A x Can you copy this please? N/m2 or Pa m2

  23. An example A woman has a weight of 500N and one of her shoes has an area of 150 cm2. A man of weight 700 N has a shoe area of 360 cm2 (one shoe). What is the pressure beneath their feet?

  24. An example Mrs Rayner has a weight of 500N and one of her shoes has an area of 150 cm2. Mr Rayner has a weight of 700 N has a shoe area of 360 cm2 (one shoe). What is the pressure beneath their feet? Mrs Rayner’s pressure = Force/area = 500/(2 x 150) = 1.67 N/cm2 Man’s pressure = Force/area = 700/(2 x 360) = 0.97 N/cm2

  25. Calculating your own pressure Remember your weight in Newtons is equal to your mass in kilograms multiplied by 10.

  26. Calculating your own pressure Remember your weight in Newtons is equal to your mass in kilograms multiplied by 10. Can you do the calculations carefully and neatly on the graph paper to show your pressure (don’t forget you have two feet!) and stick it in your book

  27. Pressure under a car

  28. Really nice car

  29. Pressure under a car • Mass = 2000kg • Weight = mg = 2000x10 = 20000N • Area = 2 x 100mm x 150 mm + 100mm 250 mm • Pressure = ?

  30. Let’s try some questions!
