1In this problem, we consider two actuators connected in parallel and in series. Capside area of each actuator = Acap = 2A Rodeside area of each actuator = Arod =

A%3D The viscous friction force in each actuator: Actuator 1: F, = b, v, Actuator 2: F2 = b2 V2 where v,and v, are the velocities of the respective actuators. a) The figure below shows the two actuators connected in parallel driven by variable flow pump.a Determine the relationship between pump flow Q and pump pressure p (interms of b,, b, and A) • Sketch p vs Q Assuming b, > b2 which actuator moves faster? b) Figure below shows the two actuators connected in series also driven by a variable flow pump. Find actuator speeds v, and v, as functions of pump flow Q Find relationship between p and Q and sketch p vs Q.
