Problem

In a hydraulic braking system, the front wheel cylinders have piston area

5.0\,\text{cm}^2

each, while the rear wheel cylinders have piston area

3.0\,\text{cm}^2

each. The master cylinder area is

2.5\,\text{cm}^2

, and a pedal force of

280\,\text{N}

acts on it. (i) Calculate the force on one front wheel piston. (ii) Calculate the force on one rear wheel piston. (Assume ideal conditions.)
