    Braking Car Force
AI Thread Summary
To find the braking force of a car weighing 700 kg, additional details are necessary, including the brake booster assist, master cylinder diameter, caliper piston sizes, and whether the vehicle uses disc or drum brakes. The weight applied to the brake pedal is approximately 30 kg to halt the vehicle traveling at 50 km/h. Understanding these specifications is crucial for accurate calculations. The discussion highlights the importance of comprehensive brake system knowledge and road conditions. Accurate braking force determination requires detailed technical information.

the weight of a car is 700 kg
the weight put on the brake pedal is around 30 kg to stop the vehicle moving with a speed of 50km/hr.
please help me out.

hi wrangler407! welcome to pf! :smile:

what is the full question? :confused:
 
That's not even close to enough information. How much assist does the brake booster provide? What is the diameter of the master cylinder? What are the diameters of the caliper pistons? Does the car use disc or drum brakes in the rear? Basicly we'd need every detail of the brake design as well as tire and road surface informatin.
 
Homework question?
 

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
