Question

3. A car's hydraulic brake system consists of a "master cylinder" attached to the brake pedal and four braking cylinders, one at each wheel, connected by a sealed system of tubes filled with an incompressible fluid. In a typical system, the master cylinder has a diameter of 0.5 cm and each of the braking cylinders has a diameter of 3 cm. If a force of 250 N is exerted on the master cylinder, what force is produced at the braking cylinders? If the brake pedal is depressed 5 cm, how far do the brake pads (attached to the braking cylinders) move?
