Question
Why is liquid (the hydraulic fluid) used to operate the brakes in a car?
Solution
A liquid is always used to operate the brakes in a car. This is because the particles in brake oil can move freely without being compressed much and thus can transmit the applied force into pressure, which is applied on the brakes efficiently.
