    QUESTIONS
    The effectiveness of any brake system depends on several factors including weight of the car, braking
    force, and total braking surface area. You also must factor in how efficiently the system converts
    wheel motion into heat (via friction) and how efficiently the built-up heat is removed from the brake
    system. This last point, the build-up and dissipation of heat goes a long way toward explaining the
    key differences between drum and disc brake technology. The build-up and dissipation of heat
    illustrate the major drawback of drum brakes. If you ride the brakes hard (e.g., steep hills, heavy
    traffic, emergency stops), the brakes begin to fade due to excessive heat build-up within the drum. As
    we just mentioned, the braking principle involves converting kinetic energy (the movement of a wheel)
    into heat. During this process, the drum is busy absorbing heat to stop your car. Problems arise when
    drum reaches a saturation point and can’t absorb additional heat. This scenario explains the science
    behind brake fade. Disc brake systems also use friction and heat to stop a car, but with these
    systems, the rotors used are exposed to outside air, which creates a cooling effect that combats fade.

    Figure.1:
    1.The main purpose of cam in drum brakes is _________________
    a) to expand the brake shoes
    b) to support the brake shoes
    c) to provide mechanical connections
    d) to adjust the brake
    2.Retraction springs in drum brake serves as ______________.
    a) to compensate for wear
    b) to keep shoes away from drum
    c) to support the accessories
    d) to retard the speed
    3.Assertion(A): Leading shoe is a term referring to the shoe that moves in opposite direction of
    rotation when it is being pressed against the drum.
    Reason(B): The leading shoe helps to press the shoes against the drum with greater pressure for
    stronger braking force.
    a) Both A and R are true
    b) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
    c) A is false but R is true.
    d) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
    e) A is true but R is False
    4.The hand brake of the automobile is usually _____________.
    a) External contacting brake

    5.In _____________ type the caliper is hinged about a fulcrum pin and one of the friction pads is fixed
    to the caliper.
    a) Fixed caliper type
    b) Swinging caliper type
    c) Sliding caliper type
    d) Leading caliper type
    6.In disc brakes, pad –to-disc adjustment is provided by _______________.
    a) Piston Seal
    b) Caliper

    8.Friction pads in disc brakes are of curved friction linings which results in uniform wear of friction
    pads.

    a) True
    b) False
    9.Hand brake is more suitable for the rear wheels.
    a) True
    b) False
