How forces within a hydraulic system transferred?
1 answer
Forces within a hydraulic system are transferred through the fluid that fills the system. When force is applied to one part of the system, such as a piston, it creates pressure within the fluid. This pressure is then transmitted through the fluid to other parts of the system, causing them to move or exert force as well. The fluid acts as a medium for transmitting the force, allowing it to be transferred throughout the system with minimal loss of energy. The hydraulic fluid is typically non-compressible, meaning that the force applied at one point in the system is nearly instantaneously transferred to other parts of the system.
