Why liquid brake fluid is used in brake lines to transfer pressure to a cars brakes from the foot pedal but gas is used in shock absorbers?

According to Pascal's law the pressure remains constant at all the points in the fluid which is at rest. The car brake's consists of a master cylinder filled with liquid oil and provided with airtight frictionless piston.The master cylinder is connected to wheel cylinder by a tube.The wheel cylinder is having two pistons connected to brake shoes. the similar system is connected to all the wheels.when the brake pedal is pressed the lever is pressed the piston of the cylinder is pushed inwards.There will be increased pressure on liquid which is transmitted equally to pistons of the wheel cylinder due to which pistons move outwards which in turn press against the rim of the wheel & hence retard the wheel.
Large shock absorbers have also been used in structural engineering to reduce the ...to the shock absorber to act as a reservoir for the oil and pressurized gas.

Why is liquid used in the tubing in bike brakes?
The deal with hydraulics as it's called is that liquids can't be compressed. So if you have a hose full of liquid and put pressure on one end of it you will get the same pressure out of the other end. With mechanically operated brakes there's always some slack caused by the levers ASO. Hydraulics gets rid of most of that and make for a good transfer of force from the brake lever to the brake caliper.
What are the causes of high suction pressure?
Suction is caused by an are of negative pressure.
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 does orifice do?
It filters the liquid refrigerant and meters the liquid entering the evap. coil which causes a drop in pressure and causes the liquid to boil and absorb heat from the interior of the car and transfer it to the atmosphere outside.
What does an orifice tube do?
It filters the liquid refrigerant and meters the liquid entering the evap. coil which causes a drop in pressure and causes the liquid to boil and absorb heat from the interior of the car and transfer it to the atmosphere outside.

Can you drill a strut to relieve the pressure?
Yes, we did it, but use a small drill and be careful because when it brakes thru it will squirt all the liquid out thru the hole.
What is the difference between booster pump and transfer pump?
The centrifugal pump is use to transfer a larger flow rate of liquid in a low pressure stage, while the booster pump is use to transmit less volume of liquid in a high pressure stage.
What is the relationship between liquid pressure and the depth of a liquid between liquid pressure and density?
pressure of liquid on bottom=density*gravitational force*depth :)
What is the difference between evaporation and distillation?
Evaporation can happens at any temperature below boiling point under atmosphere pressure. Every liquid exhibits vapor pressure on it's surface. In case of evaporation, vapor may be displaced from the surface of the liquid due to diffusion.In case of distillation, liquid boils to give vapors. (boiling happens when the vapor pressure equals to the pressure of the system)
When the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the air pressure in the room what will the liquid do?
The liquid starts boiling
Radiation require a heated liquid to transfer energy?
Radiation does not require a heated liquid to transfer energy.
