Example 2
A hydraulic lift for automobiles consists of a 0.254 m diameter
ram sliding in a 0.2542 m cylinder. The annular space between
the ram and the cylinder is filled with oil having a kinematic
viscosity pf 8 x 10-4 m²/s and specific gravity of 0.85. The rate
of travel of the ram is 0.15 m/s. Find the frictional resistance
when 3m of the ram is engaged in the cylinder.
