2.0\,\text{cm}^2

. During braking, the master piston moves forward by

1.2\,\text{cm}

. The brake fluid is directed to four identical caliper pistons, each of area

4.5\,\text{cm}^2

. Assuming the fluid is incompressible and there are no leaks, determine the displacement of each caliper piston when the pedal is pressed.
