Question

In hydraulic brake system the master cylinder has area 25 cm2 and slave cylinder has
area of 100 cm2. If force applied by slave cylinder is 2000N then force applied on
master cylinder is,
a) 8000N b) 1000N c) 500N d) 2000N

Answer 1

Answer:

Force = 2000N

Area = 100+25=125cm^2 = 0.0125m^2

We know that Pressure = Force/Area

= 2000/0.0125

Pressure = 160,000pa.

Force = pressure×Area

160,000×0.0125

Force = 2000N.

The Force applied on the master cylinder is 2000N.
