In a hydraulic car brake the master piston has an area of 5 cm^2 while the area of the slave piston is 50 cm^2 when the driver presses on the brake pedal a force of 500 n is exerted on the master piston calculate the pressure transmitted through the brake fluid and the force exerted by the slave piston on the brake pad
------------------------------------------------ 

The pressure transmitted through the brake fluid is 

P = ,

where  is the force the driver applies to the brake pedal (in newtons), and   is  the area of the master piston in .

So, the pressure is  = 1000000 Pa (Pascals).

The force exerted by the slave piston on the brake pad is 

 = ,

where P is the pressure transmitted through the brake fluid, and   is the area of the slave piston in .

So, the force exerted by the slave piston on the brake pad is 1000000*0.005 = 5000 newtons.

when the driver presses on the brake pedal a force of 500n is exerted on the master piston calculate the pressure
-------
P = 500n/5cm^2 = 100 n/cm^2
