The cover page shows the ME-6984 Hydraulics Structures model of a hydraulic boom. Pressurized fluid moves
from the syringe to the hydraulic cylinder. As the piston moves out of the cylinder, it lifts the boom structure.

Introduction
Use the ME-6984 Hydraulics Structures Set with members of the PASCO Advanced Structures Set to build models that move and do work. Build a fork lift, scissors lift, or hydraulic boom. Use sensors to measure the pressure
and temperature of the gas or liquid in the hydraulic system, and use a sensor to measure the amount of movement
of a structure as the hydraulic system does work.
Advanced Structures Set (ME-6992A) - This set contains structure members (see the table) for building cranes,
bridges, cars, catapults, and other models.
