Which outcome arises when a hydraulic actuator extending at maximum speed encounters a sudden, immovable obstruction?

💡 Explanation

When an extending hydraulic actuator encounters an immovable obstruction at maximum speed, a rapid pressure spike occurs because flow is suddenly blocked, activating the pressure relief valve, which diverts flow to limit the force. Therefore, the pressure relief valve activates, rather than other options that rely on different control mechanisms or energy storage elements.
