Answer: Downstroke: When the handle of a water pump is lifted up, the piston is pushed down. It is downstroke of the piston. In this condition, the volume of part A decreases and water pressure increases in this part. The increased pressure shuts the valve ‘A’ and opens the valve ‘B’ It makes the water of part A into pass part B of the cylinder.

Upstroke: When the handle is pushed down, it lifts the piston up. It is upstroke. During upstroke, the volume of part A increases and water Downstroke Upstroke pressure at that part decreases. It makes valve A opened and valve B closed. Thus, the water from the source enters into part A of the cylinder. The water of part B is lifted up and it comes out from the spout.
