1-1.
1-2.
1-3.
Learning Objective:
Recognize
the scope of the text and the
breadth of the topic, Fluid
Power, including pertinent
definitions, applications and
fundamental concepts.
The term fluid power includes
hydraulics and pneumatics, and is
power that is applied through
liquids or gases pumped or
compressed to provide force and
motion to mechanisms.
1.
True
2.
False
The purpose of your textbook,
Fluid Power, is to provide you
with
1.
a basic guide for use in
maintaining hydraulic
equipment
2.
a basic reference concerning
fundamentals of fluid power
3.
information on fluid power
application for specific
equipment
4.
a reference concerning
advanced concepts of fluid
power
Which of the following is a
favorable characteristic of a
fluid power system?
1.
Very large forces can be
controlled by much smaller
ones
2.
Different parts of the system
can be located at widely
separated points
3.
Motion can be transmitted
without the slack inherent in
the use of solid machine
parts
4.
Each of the above

Which of the following is a
special problem of fluid power
systems?
1.
Loss in efficiency as the
force of the fluid is
conveyed up and down or
around corners
2.

The study of hydraulics was
originally confined to the study
of the physical behavior of water
at rest and in motion.
The term
hydraulics
now includes the
physical behavior of all
1.
liquids
2.
gases
3.
liquids and gases
4.
liquids, gases, and solids
