Answer:
A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid at rest is transmitted undiminished to all points in the fluid. With that said; in a hydraulic brake system, if the piston in the master cylinder(the part your foot pushes on) is one inch square area and you push with 100 pounds, then 100 pounds per square inch is transmitted to all parts of the hydraulic system. Now if the brake caliper piston(the part that pushes against the brake pad) is 2 square inches then there will be a total of 200 lbs of force being applied by the wheel cylinder, because each square inch has 100 pounds pushing on it. This is basically how cars brake systems are designed in order to reduce the amount of force required by the driver.
Btw if u want to give 67 points u must multiply that by 2 since two people answer and they get half of 67. Im still happy with my 34 though!
