Brakes Chapter 2 Notes Name: ________________________________ Period__________ 1. _____________________ is the process of applying pressure to a liquid to transfer force or motion. 2. _____________________ law states that when there is an increase in pressure at any point in a confined liquid, there is an equal increase in pressure at every other point in the container. 3. A _________ that is compressed has a smaller volume. ________ can be compressed by applying pressure to it. Liquids cannot be compressed. 4. The brake ___________________________ is a device that converts the force applied to the pedal into hydraulic pressure. This provides pressurized fluid to the remote cylinders (wheel cylinder and brake caliper). 5. An ____________________ master cylinder is a one- piece, cast iron component with a dual reservoir. 6. A ___________________________ master cylinder is made of cast aluminum with a plastic reservoir holding the brake fluid. 7. A master cylinder converts mechanical brake pedal force into __________________ pressure. 8. Both ____________ and _______________ master cylinders work in the same way. 9. The _________________ bore is filled with brake fluid. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the piston inside the bore moves forward. The Force of the piston acting on the fluid transfers pressure to the wheel cylinders. 10. The only time the master cylinder should be ___________________ bled is if you are replacing the master cylinder. 11. Brake _______________ are the tubes and hoses that carry the brake fluid from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders and calipers. 12. The two types of brakes lines are _____________________ and _________________ 13. Rigid brake lines are made of _________________________. 14. Brake lines made of __________________ allow suspension movement. 15. In ____________ the U.S. Department of Transportation mandated dual master cylinders for all vehicles. The use of dual master cylinders in dual hydraulic circuit brak
