The diameter of the ram of an accumulator is 300 mm and its lift is 8 m. If the liquid is supplied at a pressure of 5 MPa, find the load on the ram and the capacity of the accumulator.
Given: D=0.3 m ; L=8 m ; p=50 MPa =5 \times 10^6 N / m ^2
Load on the ram, W=p \times A=p \times \frac{\pi D^2}{4}
=5 \times 10^6 \times \pi \times \frac{0.3^2}{4}=353429 N
Capacity of accumulator = Load × Stroke
\begin{aligned}&=353429 \times 8=2827433 Nm=2827.433 kNm \\&=\frac{2827433}{1000 \times 60 \times 60}=0.7854 kWh .\end{aligned}
