When you step on the brake pedal, a force is applied directly to a piston of area 'a'. The hydraulic fluid thus pressurized is directed to other pistons of area 'A' >'a' at each wheel which push the brake pads against the rotating disk attached to the wheel.

Since A>a, the applied force is multiplied by the ratio A/a.

Why can a lever be described as a force multiplier?

A lever is a force multiplier because it allows a small input force to produce a larger output force through mechanical advantage. By adjusting the position of the fulcrum and the lengths of the lever arms, you can amplify the force applied to the lever, making it easier to lift or move heavy objects.


Is a nail cutter a force multiplier?

No, a nail cutter is a tool used to trim nails and not a force multiplier. A force multiplier refers to a mechanism or tool that amplifies the force applied.


Is the arm lever a distance multiplier or a force multiplier?

The arm lever is a force multiplier. In a lever system, the input force is applied over a longer distance than the output force, resulting in an increase in the output force at the expense of a decreased distance. This allows for the amplification of force to overcome resistance or lift heavy loads with less effort.

Can a hydraulic piston be used to increase force or to decrease force?

A hydraulic piston can be used to increase force by applying hydraulic pressure to the piston, which amplifies the force output. To decrease force, the hydraulic pressure can be released or adjusted to decrease the force exerted by the piston.
