Module 2. Physics

A ram has a piston with 2 in2. Another ram with a piston of 4 in2 will provide

  • triple the force.
  • double the force.
  • square the force.

gyorwarth asking:

Hi, I could do with some help on this question. I have not see this method of specifying a ram and piston combination. What is the difference between a "2 in2" and a "4 in2" piston, are the designations relating to piston and rod diameter? Thanks, Graeme.

Hey,

2 in2 means 2 square inches (surface area). This question is about principle of hydraulic jack for example.
