The velocity ratio of a hydraulic press is defined as the ratio of the area of the large piston to the area of the small piston.
Velocity Ratio = (Area of Large Piston) / (Area of Small Piston)
Velocity Ratio = 600 cm² / 4 cm²
Velocity Ratio = 150
The mechanical advantage of a hydraulic press is equal to the velocity ratio because there is no friction in the system. Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the machine is also 150.
In a hydraulic press, the area of a small and large pistons are 4cm² and 600cm². Find the velocity ratio of the machine.(assuming there is no friction, find the mechanical advantage of the machine
