Which is the fixed part in drum brakes?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
In **drum brakes**, the **shoes** are the fixed part. When the brake pedal is pressed, a force is transmitted through the brake fluid to the shoes. These shoes rub against the drum, which is the moving part, to stop the vehicle. The shoes are designed to remain in place within the drum, while the drum rotates with the wheel. Therefore, the shoes are the fixed component that interacts with the drum to brake the vehicle.
The **pads**, on the other hand, are components of **disc brakes**, not drum brakes. In disc brakes, the pads are pressed against a disc to stop the vehicle, but they are not part of the drum brake system.
Therefore, in the context of drum brakes, the shoes are the fixed part that allows braking.
