A car has hydraulically operated disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. The front brakes have pistons of 58 mm diameter each, whereas each of the wheel cylinder at the rear brake has 28 mm diameter. The master cylinder piston has diameter of 40 mm. The brake foot pedal has a leverage of 4. If the brake pedal is applied a force of 100 N, Calculate (i) The braking force on the front axle, (ii) The braking force on the rear axle
