|
Answer» Answer : • Brake System :Brake system in the cars is another COMMON example of a hydraulic system. This consists of a pipe and two cylinders. It is filled with special fluid called brake oil. At one end of the pipe there is a cylinder fitted with a small piston called MASTER cylinder. The small piston is connected with brake pedal. At the other end of the pipe;There is a second cylinder fitted with a large piston called slave cylinder. When small, is pushed into master cylinder by APPLYING a small force on brake pedal, the Pressure thus produced is transmitted without loss to the slave cylinder. The large piston in the slave cylinder is pushed out with a large force. It then pushes the brake pad out to make it rub against the moving wheel disc. In this way a large FRICTIONAL force is produced which stops the running wheel. |
