Question

Given S is the setting load and Y is the yield load of a hydraulic prop, the correct relationship between S and Y is

• A. \(S<Y\)
• B. \(S>Y\)
• C. \(S = Y\)
• D. \(S = Y^2\)

Hint:

Setting load is less than yield load in hydraulic props.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Setting load \(S\) is the minimum load at which the hydraulic prop is installed; yield load \(Y\) is the load at which the prop starts yielding, thus \(S<Y\).
