How is pascals law used in the brakes of a car?

I’m giving 67 points!

A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid at rest is transmitted undiminished to all points in the fluid. With that said; in a hydraulic brake system, if the piston in the master cylinder(the part your foot pushes on) is one inch square area and you push with 100 pounds, then 100 pounds per square inch is transmitted to all parts of the hydraulic system. Now if the brake caliper piston(the part that pushes against the brake pad) is 2 square inches then there will be a total of 200 lbs of force being applied by the wheel cylinder, because each square inch has 100 pounds pushing on it. This is basically how cars brake systems are designed in order to reduce the amount of force required by the driver.

Btw if u want to give 67 points u must multiply that by 2 since two people answer and they get half of 67.    Im still happy with my 34 though!

Explanation:

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
