Explain the working of a hydraulic brake with a simple labelled diagram.

उत्तर
Working: To apply brakes, the foot pedal is pressed due to which pressure is exerted on the liquid in the master cylinder P, so liquid runs out from the master cylinder P to the wheel cylinder Q. As a result, the pressure is transmitted equally and undiminished through the liquid to the pistons B1 and B2 of the wheel cylinder. Therefore, the pistons B1 and B2 get pushed outwards and brake shoes get pressed against the rim of the wheel due to which the motion of the vehicle retards. Due to transmission of pressure through the liquid, equal pressure is exerted on all the wheels of the vehicle connected to the pipe line R.
On releasing the pressure on the pedal, the liquid runs back from the wheel cylinder Q to the master cylinder P and the spring pulls the break shoes to their original position and forces the pistons B1 and B2 to return back into the wheel cylinder Q. Thus, the brakes get released.
