Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.31P
Figure P2-12 shows a bicycle brake caliper assembly. Sketch a kinematic diagram of this device and draw its equivalent linkage. Determine its mobility under two conditions:
- Brake pads not contacting the wheel rim.
- Brake pads contacting the wheel rim.
Hint: Consider the flexible cables to be replaced by forces in this case.

Use Castigliano's method for a curved flexural member and since R/h > 10, neglect the effect of shear and axial load, thereby assuming that deflection is due to merely the bending moment.
