Technician A says that brake chambers convert air pressure into rotary force.Technician B says that slack adjusters convert rotary force into linear force.Who is correct?
A) Technician A only
B) Technician B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B
Brake Chambers
Components in air brake systems, primarily in heavy vehicles, where pressurized air is converted into mechanical force to apply the brakes.
Slack Adjusters
Mechanisms that adjust the distance between a brake drum and brake lining to compensate for wear, crucial for maintaining effective brake function.
Rotary Force
The force applied in a circular motion, often used in mechanical systems to produce rotation.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Brake chambers convert air pressure into linear force to apply the brakes, not rotary force. Slack adjusters help maintain the correct distance between the brake shoes and the drum, rather than converting rotary force into linear force.
