    Will a pump work with the added friction due to different cylinder dimensions?(Math&Photo) below

    With the same loads just different dimensions of the well will it still pump due to the added friction? From a wide cylinder to a smaller but longer cylinder. Disregard the pump flaws (like the missing valves) because this is just a drawing.

    Also LittleInch it's 24inch diameter pipe that's 5ft in height. I know that little friction will occur if the well was exactly the same size and it will pump. I ask the question because the 2 cylinders in this drawing are of different dimensions.

    I'm sorry guys. It was actually a 160ft lever not an 80ft lever. At 160ft with that load on a seesaw will be more than equalibrium to lift the other load.

    Will a pump work with the added friction due to different cylinder dimensions?(Math&Photo) below

    A simple pump that lifts 1,178 gallons per lever stroke. I ask this question because the bottom chamber has a larger diameter than the cylinder it's pumping water up into.(PHOTO) The math makes sence on a seesaw drawing but I'm unsure with this pump due to the different sized cylinders as...
