Solution

The braking system of a car relies on Pascal's principle. This principle states that when a change in pressure is applied to an enclosed fluid, it is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container. In the context of a car's braking system, when you apply force to the brake pedal, this force is transmitted through the brake fluid in the brake lines, causing the brake pads to press against the rotors, slowing or stopping the car.
