A linear actuator such as you used in lab has a rod of area of 10-4 m2 and a piston area of 3*10-4 m2 . The actuator can have fluid applied to either the piston end of the cylinder or the open end where the rod comes out so the rod can both extend and retract out of the cylinder. A student establishes equilibrium between the hydraulic force and an external weight so there is no movement of the weight....
