Answer:
The force applied on one wheel during braking = 6.8 lb
Explanation:
Area of the piston (A) = 0.4
Force applied on the piston(F) = 6.4 lb
Pressure on the piston (P) =
⇒ P =
⇒ P = 16
This is the pressure inside the cylinder.
Let force applied on the brake pad =
Area of the brake pad ()= 1.7
Thus the pressure on the brake pad () =
When brake is applied on the vehicle the pressure on the piston is equal to pressure on the brake pad.
⇒ P =
⇒ 16 =
⇒ = 16 ×
Put the value of we get
⇒ = 16 × 1.7
⇒ = 27.2 lb
This the total force applied during braking.
The force applied on one wheel = =
= 6.8 lb
⇒ The force applied on one wheel during braking.
