Hydraulic Ram
A hydraulic ram is a device that is used to lift water without the use of an electric motor. It operates using the energy of a large amount of water falling a small height to lift a small amount of water to a greater height. This makes it suitable for applications in remote areas where electricity is not available.
Analyzing the Given Options
-
1) For lifting water without an electric motor (Correct)
-
A hydraulic ram uses water's kinetic energy to lift a portion of the water to a higher elevation without requiring electricity.
-
This makes option 1 the correct answer.
-
-
2) For accelerating water flow (Incorrect)
-
A hydraulic ram does not accelerate water flow. Instead, it uses the flow of water to operate its mechanism.
-
Hence, option 2 is incorrect.
-
-
3) For lifting heavy loads (Incorrect)
-
A hydraulic ram is specifically used for lifting water, not heavy loads.
-
Its design and operation are not suitable for lifting heavy objects, making option 3 incorrect.
-
-
4) None of the above (Incorrect)
-
Since option 1 is correct, option 4 cannot be correct.
-
Therefore, option 4 is incorrect.
-
Correct Answer: Option 1
