When you depress your brake pedal, your car transmits the force from your foot to its brakes through a fluid. Since the actual brakes require a much greater force than you could apply with your feet, your car must also multiply the force of your foot. It does this in two ways :
- Mechanical advantage (leverage)
- Hydraulic force multiplication
The brakes transmit the force to the tires using friction, and the tires transmit that force to the road too using friction. Before we begin our discussion on the components of the brake system, let's cover these three principles :
- Leverage
- Hydraulics
- Friction
