Mechanical Advantage of Hydraulic Press Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mechanical Advantage of Hydraulic Press = Area of Hydraulic Ram/Area of Plunger of Hydraulic Press
M_a = A/a
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Mechanical Advantage of Hydraulic Press - Mechanical Advantage of Hydraulic Press is the ratio of the force exerted on the piston with the smaller area to the force exerted on the piston with the larger area.
Area of Hydraulic Ram - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of hydraulic ram is defined as the area covered by the ram in which a piston or plunger is displaced by the pressure of a fluid.
Area of Plunger of Hydraulic Press - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Plunger of Hydraulic Press is the cross-sectional area of the plunger or the piston of an hydraulic press.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Hydraulic Ram: 0.0154 Square Meter --> 0.0154 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Area of Plunger of Hydraulic Press: 0.000346 Square Meter --> 0.000346 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M_a = A/a --> 0.0154/0.000346

Evaluating ... ...

M_a = 44.5086705202312

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

44.5086705202312 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

44.5086705202312 ≈ 44.50867 <-- Mechanical Advantage of Hydraulic Press
