Brake force, also known as Brake Power, is a measure of braking power of a vehicle.
In the case of railways, it is important that staff are aware of the brake force of a locomotive so sufficient brake power will be available on trains, particularly heavy freight trains.
Famous quotes containing the word force:
“We are to have a tiny party here tonight; I hate tiny
parties—they force one into constant exertion.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
