Which of the following is not an advantage that disc brakes have over drum brakes?
use less brake fluid
Brakes utlize friction to slow vehicle tires. Drum brakes employ a cast iron drum that roates with the vehicle axle. When hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake assemblies at the wheels, internal pistons expand and push brake shoes outward into contact with the brake drum slowing the rotation of the axle. More powerful disc brakes operate by pinching a rotating disc betweeen two brake pads and allow for a larger surface area to contact the disc, provide more force, and are more easily cooled.
For a hydraulic system, pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure in which parts of the system?
all of these are correct
Pascal's law states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere. For a hydraulic system, this means that a pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure everywhere in the system.

ball peen hammer
Ball peen hammers are most commonly used in automotive repair. They have rounded heads and are used to drive punches and chisels.
