If pressure stays the same and area increases, force will 

What is increase 

400

This Diagram uses symbols to show how a system is connected 

What is a Schematic
400
This component controls airflow direction

What is a valve 

400

This can happen if air is trapped and cannot escape 

System may not move or may become dangerous 

400

This must exist for a cylinder to move properly 

What are the Supply AND Exhaust Paths 

400

Why do two cylinders at the same pressure produce different force 

What is Different piston area 
500

This device controls air pressure in a system

What is a regulator 

500

This type of cylinder uses air to move in both directions

What is a Double-acting cylinder 

500

A system is safe if the compressor off

False 

500

If one airline is missing, what happens ?

Cylinder will not move properly

500

If exhaust is blocked, what happens to the system

It may stall or not move
