The statement that once the mechanical force is converted to hydraulic, it doesn't change back is false. In a vehicle's brake system, the mechanical force applied by the driver's foot is converted into hydraulic pressure in the master cylinder, which is then used to apply mechanical force at the brake calipers or drums to stop the vehicle. This process involves a conversion from mechanical to hydraulic pressure and back to mechanical force at the wheels.
