Why should brake fluid not be filled above the full or MAX level as indicated on the master cylinder reservoir?
Explain the reason why brake fluid should not be filled above the MAX level as displayed on the master cylinder reservoir.
Explanation of Solution
Brake fluid is generally used to transfer the foot force of a driver to the brake pedal. The brake pedal is stated as service brake in accordance with each individual wheel brake. The brake fluid should not be allowed to fill above the maximum limit as displayed on the master cylinder reservoir for the specified conditions.
The overfilling of the brake fluid should be avoided as the brake fluid becomes hotter when the brakes are applied. It is suggested to have a space in the master cylinder reservoir for the brake fluid to enlarge. Thus, the brake fluid should be filled up to the stated level with respect to the specified conditions.

The strut has a hollow square cross section with a wall thickness t =12mm and the angle θ between the strut and the horizontal is 40°. A pin through the strut transmits the compressive force from the strut to two gusset plates G that are welded to the base plate B. Four anchor bolts fasten the base plate to the deck. The diameter of the pin is 20mm, the thickness of the gusset plates is 16mm, the thickness of the base plate is 8mm, and the diameter of the anchor bolts is 12mm. Disregard any friction between the base plate and the deck.1. Determine the shear stress in the pin, in MPa and the shear stress in the anchor bolts, in MPa.2.

- Required information Water initially at 200 kPa and 300°C is contained in a piston-cylinder device fitted with stops. The water is allowed to cool at constant pressure until it exists as a saturated vapor and the piston rests on the stops. Then the water continues to cool until the pressure is 100 kPa.
