Question 16General Subjects - QMED

The correct answer is D) accumulator. In an operating hydraulic system, the energy imparted to the hydraulic fluid is stored in the accumulator. The accumulator is a device that stores pressurized hydraulic fluid, which can be released to provide additional power or force when needed. It acts as a reservoir of stored energy that can be used to supplement the main hydraulic pump or provide backup power in the event of a system failure. The other options are incorrect because: A) the ram is the component that converts the hydraulic pressure into mechanical force, B) the actuator is the component that moves in response to the hydraulic pressure, and C) the reservoir is where the hydraulic fluid is stored, but it does not store the energy imparted to the fluid.
