I need to know how much stress a manual hydraulic car jack has while holding a 4000 lb load?
In summary, it is recommended to hire a professional engineer for accurate information on the stress a manual hydraulic car jack can withstand while holding a 4000 lb load. More details on the specific component and its diameter and cross-sectional area are needed for a more accurate answer. The piston is not the part that will fail first when the jack is overstressed and additional information is required for a more specific and useful response.

Otherwise, you'll need a lot more detail on the specifics of the car jack.

faiz513: For which component in the hydraulic car jack do you need to know the stress? And what is the diameter and cross-sectional area of that component?

The piston is not going to be the part that fails when the jack is overstressed. Which part do you think will fail first, and how will it fail... ?

Bit of an elementary question really. Stress is force/unit area.
Unless you want a more specific and/or useful answer more info is needed.

What is the load capacity of a hydraulic car jack?
The load capacity of a hydraulic car jack refers to the maximum weight that the jack can safely lift. In this case, the load capacity is 4000 lbs.
Can I exceed the load capacity of a hydraulic car jack?
No, it is not safe to exceed the load capacity of a hydraulic car jack. Doing so may result in damage to the jack or cause it to fail, potentially causing injury.
How do I know if my car is within the load capacity of the hydraulic car jack?
You can check the weight of your car in the owner's manual or by using a scale. Make sure the weight is below the load capacity of the jack before attempting to lift your car.
What happens if I use a hydraulic car jack with a load capacity that is too low for my car?
Using a jack with a load capacity that is too low for your car can cause the jack to fail or collapse, resulting in damage to your car or potential injury. It is important to always use a jack with the appropriate load capacity for your vehicle.
Is the load capacity of a hydraulic car jack the same for all types of vehicles?
No, the load capacity of a hydraulic car jack may vary depending on the type and weight of the vehicle. It is important to check the load capacity of the jack and ensure it is suitable for your specific vehicle before use.
