Ignoring the physics part of the question this pretty much sums up why multi piston calipers work heas better.
You'll also notice that each piston is a differant size. The leading edge of the pad grabs the hardest as it bends so its the smallest, the the last pistin is the largest as it has to overcome the bending force and then apply braking force on top of that.
