Force - A push or pull acting upon a body. In a hydraulic cylinder, it is the product of the pressure on the fluid, multiplied by the effective area of the cylinder piston. It is measured in pounds or tons. Friction - The resistance to fluid flow in a hy- draulic system.
temperature increase The pressure of a contained sample of gas can be increased by increasing its temperature, or by decreasing its volume, or by injecting additional mas â¦ s into it.
same push on the pedal (or pull on the handle) pressure will increase, but so will the stroke. An example is a 1-inch master cylinder stroke and a 100 pound push on the pedal. With a 4:1 ratio, the pressure is 4 x 100 = 400, and the stroke is 4 x 1 = 4 inches. With a 5:1 ratio, the pressure is 5 x 100 = 500, and the stroke is 5 x 1 = 5 inches. 5Ë MAXIMUM
