Final answer:

The subject of this question is Physics and it is related to pneumatic brake systems. According to Pascal's principle, the pressure in the pedal cylinder is transmitted to the wheel cylinders, and the force at each wheel cylinder can be calculated using the equation F2 = F1 × (A2/A1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Physics. Specifically, the question is related to pneumatic brake systems, which are a part of the study of fluid mechanics in physics.

In a pneumatic brake system, the pressure in the system determines the force created at the wheel cylinders.

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure created in the pedal cylinder is transmitted to the wheel cylinders, and the force at each wheel cylinder can be calculated using the equation F2 = F1 × (A2/A1), where

F2 is the force at the wheel cylinder, F1 is the force applied to the pedal cylinder, and A2 and A1 are the cross-sectional areas of the wheel cylinder and pedal cylinder, respectively.
