An ABS systems that use a conventional master cylinder and vacuum booster for power assist, what type of accumulator is used as a temporary storage reservoir for brake fluid?

Step 1
The ABS prevents the wheels from locking up during braking, which helps maintain steering control and reduces stopping distances on slippery surfaces. Show more…

8. In a closed hydraulic brake system, the hydraulic pressure: A. Is constant B. Decreases as you get farther from the Master Cylinder C. Depends on the size of the caliper pistons D. Is variable, depending on its compressibility

A hydraulic brake system in a car connects the brake pedal to the brakes on the wheels. When the driver presses the brake pedal inside the car, a piston applies force to a master cylinder containing hydraulic fluid. A hose connects the master cylinder to each brake cylinder. At each brake cylinder, hydraulic fluid pressure on a piston applies force to the brake shoe. Suppose that a driver applies a force of 190 N to the master cylinder, which has a diameter equal to 1/3 the diameter of the brake cylinder. What is the force F applied by the brake cylinder on the brake shoe?
