Question: 1 / 1030

The braking action of a Cleveland disk brake is accomplished by

Twisting the brake disk to reduce speed

Heating the brake linings for better grip

Compressing a rotating brake disk between two opposite brake linings

A Cleveland disk brake works by compressing a rotating brake disk between two opposite brake linings. This creates friction between the two surfaces, resulting in the reduction of wheel speed. Option A is incorrect because twisting the brake disk would not create enough friction to slow down the vehicle. Option B is incorrect because heating the brake linings would not be a sustainable method of braking and could potentially damage the brakes. Option D is also incorrect because applying a chemical compound would not create enough friction to slow down the vehicle.
