While discussing hydraulic systems: Technician A says the use of a larger input piston gives the system a mechanical advantage or increase in the force available to do work.
Technician B says the multiplication of force through a hydraulic system is directly proportional to the difference in the piston sizes throughout the system.
Who is correct?
A)A only
B)B only
C)Both A and B
D)Neither A nor B

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct as the larger input piston gives the system a mechanical advantage or increase in the force available to do work.
Technician B is also correct as the multiplication of force through a hydraulic system is directly proportional to the difference in the piston sizes throughout the system, which is known as the principle of hydraulic pressure. Therefore, both Technicians A and B are correct.
