Assignment  1 Textbook  Assignment: “Fluid  Power,”  chapter  1;  “Forces  in  Liquids,”  chapter  2; “Hydraulic Fluids, ” chapter 3, pages 3-1 through 3-6. 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 IN  ANSWERING  QUESTIONS  1-4  THROUGH  1-6, SELECT  FROM  COLUMN  B  THE  SYSTEM  THAT MEETS THE PRESSURE AND CONTROL REQUIREMENTS  LISTED  IN  COLUMN  A. A.    Requirements B. Systems 1-4. 1-5. 1-6. A medium amount 1. of  pressure  and fairly accurate 2. control A medium amount 3. of  pressure  and more  accurate control A great amount of pressure  and/or extremely  accurate control Hydraulic Pneumatic Combination hydraulic and pneumatic 1-7. 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. Loss of force as the fluid is transmitted  over  considerable distances 3. Leaks 4. Each of the above 1-8. 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 1
