Question:
Maintenance work on high-pressure hydraulic systems requires special precautions. A small leak can result in a high-speed jet of hydraulic fluid that can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury (therefore troubleshooters are cautioned to use a piece of paper or cardboard, not a finger, to search for leaks). Calculate and plot the jet speed of a leak versus system pressure, for pressures up to \(40 \mathrm{MPa}\) gage. Explain how a high-speed jet of hydraulic fluid can cause injury.
