Hydraulics
Master Cylinder
Disk Brakes
Drum Brakes
100
The most common type of brake fluid used today
What is DOT 3
100
This law states that pressure in an enclosed system is equal and undiminished in all directions
What is Pascal's Law
100
This part of the master cylinder houses the brake fluid
What is the reservoir
100
Disk brakes are usually found here
What is the front of the vehicle
100
Where drum brakes are usually located on a vehicle
What is the rear of the vehicle
200
This is the synthetic type of brake fluid
What is DOT 5
200
Pressure times Area
What is Force
200
The master cylinder is bolted to this component
What is the brake booster or power booster
200
During a stop, the weight of the vehicle shifts unto here
What is the front brakes
200
The friction materials or linings on drum brakes are called this
What is the brake shoes
300
Both of these organizations set the standards for brake fluid used in the brake hydraulic system
What is the DOT (Department of Transportation) and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)
300
Hydraulics is basically this under pressure used to transfer motion and apply force
What is liquid
300
If this procedure is not done properly, air can get trapped in the master cylinder
What is bleeding the brakes
300
When the vehicle has front wheel drive, this is the braking ratio for the front brakes
What is 80% for the front
300
One popular style of drum brakes in which both shoes are self-energizing
What is servo or duo-servo
400
Brake fluid that is made from a polyglycol base which means it will absorb water
What is hygroscopic
400
Pressure acts on hydraulic cylinders at each wheel to produce this
What is Force
400
When the brake pedal is depressed this component pushes the piston inside the cylinder forward to create pressure
What is the pushrod
400
This component in a disk brake system which resembles that of bicycle brakes.
What is the caliper
400
The caliper in disk brakes does the same job as this component in drum brakes
What is the wheel cylinder
500
The DOT specification name for both new fluid and for fluid that has absorbed 2% water
What is Dry and Wet Boiling Points
500
In order to increase the pressure coming from here, the diameter of its bore must be smaller
What is the master cylinder
500
Fluid from the reservoir fills the master cylinder bore through this port
What is the compensating port
500
These rotors are heavier but have abundant surface area to dissipate heat better
What is ventilated rotors
500
The component that is turned to adjust the brake shoes in drum brakes
What is the starwheel
