Homework Statement
the breaking system on a car utilises a master pistion that is 10 cm in dimeter. the four outout pistons (one on each wheel) are 2cm in diameter
a) if 500 N of force is applied to the master piston, what is the output force on each of the wheel pistons?
b) if the master piston moves 5cm, how much does each output piston move?
c)how is this not a free lunch?
Homework Equations
unknown. missed class the day this was done and I cannot foind an example like it.
The Attempt at a Solution
I figured that the force would just be divided by four but looking at C that must not be right or that wouldn't be there.
b) for the output piston i would think it would be 10/2 x 5= 25 cm. but I am not sure about this answer.
