Heavy Duty Equipment Technician Red Seal Exam Prep · Question
Calculate the force generated by a hydraulic cylinder with a bore diameter of 100 mm and a rod diameter of 50 mm, when pressurized to 20 MPa on the cap end.
Area = π * (radius)² = π * (0.05 m)² = 0.00785 m². Force = Pressure * Area = 20,000,000 Pa * 0.00785 m² = 157,000 N or 157 kN. (Note: Question refers to cap end

Question: Calculate the force generated by a hydraulic cylinder with a bore diameter of 100 mm and a rod diameter of 50 mm, when pressurized to 20 MPa on the cap end.
Answer options:
- 157 kN ✅ 86.4 kN
- 314 kN
- 117.8 kN
Correct answer: 86.4 kN
Explanation: Area = π * (radius)² = π * (0.05 m)² = 0.00785 m². Force = Pressure * Area = 20,000,000 Pa * 0.00785 m² = 157,000 N or 157 kN. (Note: Question refers to cap end, not differential area)
