Activity 4: Demonstrating Equal Pressure in a Hydraulic SystemUse a T connector and create the hydraulic system shown below.1. Charge each of the syringes with water and connect the Syringes as shown above.2. Place a mass on B and then place a mass on A that will lift B3. Remove the mass placed on A but keep the mass on B. Then place the same mass thatis placed on B onto to Syringe C.4. Note what happens. The mass on A should lift the masses on C and B.5. Note how far C and B were lifted. Were they lifted the same distance as A was pusheddown?6. Take the mass off syringe A and push the plunger down two major marks (e.g. from the5ml mark to the 15ml mark). Note the distance that the pistons for syringes C and Bwere raised.As you may have noticed that you have to pay for the multiplied output force by exerting asmaller input force through a larger distance. That is because work (W) has to remainthe same. That is the amount of work applied to syringe A has to be equal to the amountof work applied to syringe B.Work is the amount of force applied to an object through a constant direction “x”:W = Force x Distance(x) or W = FxIf you apply 10 lb of force to an object for 10 feet you would apply 100 ft-lbs of work.If youThen(1) apply 10gm of force to Syringe A piston and(2) push it down 10 centimeters and(3) there is 100gm mass on Syringe B,(4) Syringe B will move a distance of 1 centimeter7. See if you can build a model of a brake system using syringes for the master cylinder,slave cylinder and 4 brake cylinders.Module 4 Student Guide Fluids & Thermodynamics Page 14
