Here are the calculations for Question 6: Hydraulics. 6.1 A mass loaded accumulator Given: Ram diameter D = 400 mm = 0.4 m Initial mass m_0 = 580 kg Hydraulic pressure P = 1.0 MPa = 1.0 × 10^6 Pa Ram moves distance s = 250 mm = 0.25 m in time t = 4 s Assume acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^2. 6.1.1 The additional mass required to maintain the working hydraulic pressure. Step 1: Calculate the area of the ram. A = ( D^2)/(4) = (0.4 m)^24 = 0.04 m^2 Step 2: Calculate the total force required to generate the pressure. F = P × A = (1.0 × 10^6 Pa) × (0.04 m^2) = 40000 N Step 3: Calculate the total mass required to produce this force. M = (F)/(g) = 40000 N9.81 m/s^2 ≈ 12809.77 kg Step 4: Calculate the additional mass required. m_add = M - m_0 = 12809.77 kg - 580 kg = 12229.77 kg 6.1.2 The work done by the ram in the working stroke. Step 1: Use the force calculated in 6.1.1. F = 40000 N Step 2: Calculate the work done.

Step 1: Calculate the area of one plunger. A_plunger = ( d^2)/(4) = (0.08 m)^24 = 0.0016 m^2 Step 2: Calculate the theoretical flow rate of the pump. Assuming a single-acting pump, the number of strokes per second for each cylinder is 180 r/min / 60 s/min = 3 s^-1. Q_theoretical = N × A_plunger × L × N_rpm60 Q_theoretical = 3 × (0.0016 m^2) × (0.2 m) × (3 s^-1) = 0.00288 m^3/s Step 3: Calculate the output power of the pump. P_out = P × Q_theoretical = (820 × 10^3 Pa) × (0.00288 m^3/s) = 2361.6 W Step 4: Calculate the input power required, considering the efficiency.

Q_theoretical, min = Q_theoretical × 60 s/min = (0.00288 m^3/s) × 60 = 0.1728 m^3/min Step 2: Calculate the actual flow rate considering a slip of 5\%. Q_actual, min = Q_theoretical, min × (1 - slip) Q_actual, min = (0.1728 m^3/min) × (1 - 0.05) = 0.16416 m^3/min Step 3: Convert the actual flow rate to litres per minute.

Since the number of strokes must be a whole number to achieve the desired lift, we round up. n_actual = 134 strokes Drop the next question.
