If the flow rate and pressurized oil from a variable capacity pump were supplied to the device illustrated, the __________. GS-0058

Correct Answer: Option B — horsepower, torque, and speed would increase proportionally

In a hydraulic motor, torque is proportional to pressure, and speed is proportional to flow. Increasing the flow rate and pressure from a variable capacity pump results in a proportional increase in the motor's output speed, torque, and total power, following the fundamental laws of hydraulic power transmission.
