If 200 psi of hydraulic pressure is applied to a two-square-inch caliper piston, the brake application force on a one-square-inch piston will be

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force applied to the two-square-inch piston is 200 psi * 2 sq in = 400 lb. This force is transmitted to the one-square-inch piston, so the brake application force on the one-square-inch piston is 400 lb / 1 sq in = 400 psi.
