Chapter 52, Problem 1SA
Name the three major assemblies that make up a disc brake.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The three major assemblies used to make up a disc brake.
Answer to Problem 1SA
The three major assemblies are hub and rotor assembly, a caliper assembly, and the brake pads assembly.
Explanation of Solution
The disc brakes are comprised of three assemblies which are hub and rotor assembly, a caliper assembly, and brake pads assembly. The hub and rotor assembly is divided into two parts i.e. hub and rotor in which hub is the part in which wheel is fitted and may carry wheel bearings also. The rotor is the part which is generally made up with cast iron and is machined in a way that it provides a friction surface for the brake pads.
The caliper assembly is the one which is fitted to convert the hydraulic pressure to the mechanical force and inspects for the lining wear by the hole which is present on top of it. Further, a caliper has a capacity of containing up to six cylinders and pistons that helps in providing same level of pressure distribution.
The brake pad assembly is made up of metal having linings which are either riveted or bonded to them. It helps in straddling the rotor due to its position on each side of calipers. The linings on pads are semi-metallic in nature.
Conclusion:
Thus, the three assemblies which are used in making disc brakes are hub and rotor assembly, a caliper assembly, and the brake pads assembly.

In direct calorimetry, a person is placed in a large, water-insulated chamber. The chamber is kept at a constant temperature. While in the chamber, the subject is asked to perform a number of normal activities, such as eating, sleeping, and exercising. The rate of heat released from the subject’s body can be measured by the rate of heat gain by the water bath. Would direct calorimetry be a practical way to measure metabolic rate? Why or why not?A person is placed inside a calorimetric chamber for 24 hours. During this time, the 660-gallon water bath heats up by 3.2°F. What is the subject’s metabolic rate during this period? Report your answer in kcal/day. Assume that there is no heat loss from the water to the surroundings.
Upon reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere, the bottom of a space shuttle heats up to dangerous levels as the craft slows for landing. If the velocity of the shuttle is 28,500 km/hr at the beginning of reentry and 370 km/hr just prior to landing, how much energy is lost as heat? The shuttle has a mass of 90,000 kg. Assume that the change in potential energy is negligible compared to the change in kinetic energy.
of the basket of the balloon at point A, and their other ends are staked to the ground. The hook is located in the geometric
center of the basket. The balloon and the air inside it have a combined mass of 3000 kg. You want to determine the
resultant of the tension forces in the four cables acting on the hook at point A. It is known that the magnitudes of the
tension in the cables are as follows: TAB = 207 N; TAC = 355 N; TAD = 250 N; and TAE = 486 N.
