A mass of 2000 kg is to be accelerated horizontally upto a velocity of 1 m/s from rest over a distance of 50 mm. The co-efficient of friction between the load and guide is 0.16. Calculate the bore of the cylinder required to accelerate the load if the maximum allowable pressure at the full bore end is 100 bars. Assume the back pressure at the annular end of the cylinder as zero.

11 (b)
A hydraulic cylinder is used to operate a machine. The load during the forward stroke is 20 kN and that during the return stroke is approx. 10 kN. The forward and return speeds are about 3.5 m/min. and 5.5 m/min respectively. Total stroke of the cylinder is 300 mm. Provision is required to hold the cylinder anywhere between the end positions. Develop a suitable hydraulic circuit and select different components from the data given. Specify the ratings of the components in case it is not available in the given data.
