🚗 Puzzles on Hydraulic Brake System
📌 The diagram shows how pressure is transferred from the brake pedal to the brake shoes through oil in the master and wheel cylinders.
Click on each puzzle below to test your understanding!
🔍 Puzzle 1:
Which principle is the hydraulic brake system based on?
Pascal’s Law
🔍 Puzzle 2:
What is the function of the main cylinder filled with oil?
It transmits pressure from the brake pedal to the wheel cylinder using incompressible oil.
🔍 Puzzle 3:
What causes pistons P1 and P2 to move outward?
The pressure of oil from the main cylinder acts equally in all directions, pushing both pistons outward.
🔍 Puzzle 4:
What do the brake shoes press against to stop the vehicle?
The wheel rim
🔍 Puzzle 5:
Why is oil used in the hydraulic brake system?
Because oil is incompressible and can transfer pressure effectively to the wheel cylinders.
🔍 Puzzle 6:
What will happen if there is air in the hydraulic brake lines?
Brakes will not work efficiently, as air is compressible and will absorb pressure.
🔍 Puzzle 7:
How does Pascal’s law apply in this brake system?
Pressure applied at the brake pedal is transmitted equally through the brake fluid to all directions inside the cylinders.
🔍 Puzzle 8:
What connects the brake pedal to the main cylinder?
The lever system
🔍 Puzzle 9:
What is the function of the wheel cylinder?
It pushes the brake shoes outward to contact the wheel rim, creating friction and stopping motion.
🔍 Puzzle 10:
Why is equal pressure important in this system?
To ensure both brake shoes apply the same force on the wheel rim for balanced braking.
