As the brake pedal is pressed, an attached rod on the master cylinder applying pressure to the brake fluid in psi. This pressure is applied to the calipers/wheel cylinders clamping the brakes. In front brakes(disc/caliper) setups the pressure is multiplied. An example: Applying 100lbs of force to the master cylinder(not the pedal, since the pedal has a mechanical advantage of 5-7:1 meaning 20lbs or less on the pedal is 100 on the master cylinder). Because the master cylinder's piston has an area of 1 square inch(generalization) it would equal 100psi. 100psi of pressure on the caliper's piston which can have an area of around(say) 3inches, would exert 300psi of pressure on the pads.n disc drakes

What are the effects on the pressure applied to car brakes using a liquid?
Hydraulics is a term used for a system operated or moved by a fluid as the transmission of energy.
What is the range of hydraulic machines used in the construction industry?
Megadiggers, cranes, trencher/rotating shovel and diggers. Mountain bikes and car brakes use Hydraulics too.
Does a low car battery affect the brakes?
Definitely not. There is nothing electrical there. But hydraulics run well only when you have your engine on. So: as long as you have your engine on you have full brakes.
Which brakes are used more when stopping a car?

What types of things use hydraulics?
Cars use hydraulics in the brakes and steering, and planes use hydraulics by adjusting the wings and rising and lowering the landing gear :P
What part of the car use hydraulics?
The brakes a force is applied on the peddle and the fluid pushes on the brake pads. The power steering also uses hydraulics, so does the automatic transmission. =============================================== Some suspension dampers or struts are also oil filled
