Q1. a) What does pressure refer to in relation to hydrostatics?

b) What is it dependent on?

Q2. Figure below contains a depiction of an embossing press in which a single-acting cylinder is used for ejecting the processed parts. With the help of circuit diagrams, describe how this cylinder can be activated using 2/2 and 3/2 valves. Compare the two diagrams with regard to extension and retraction of the piston rod and draw your conclusions. Also, calculate the advancing pressure (p) for a piston rod whose diameter d = 60 mm and with a load weight F = 5 kN. Ignore the resistances for this calculation.
