Open questionMENAT2 marksNeeds review
A liquid fills a horizontal capillary tube whose one end is dipped in a large pool of the liquid. The experiments show that the distance
travelled by the liquid meniscus inside the capillary in time
is given by
where
is the surface tension,
is the inner radius of the capillary, and
is the dynamic viscosity of the liquid. If
is a dimensionless constant, then the exponent
is ________ (rounded off to 1 decimal place).Log in to check the answer

A cutting tool provides a tool life of 60 minutes while machining with the cutting speed of 60 m/min. When the same tool is used for machining the same material, it provides a tool life of 10 minutes for a cutting speed of 100 m/min. If the cutting speed is changed to 80 m/min for the same tool and work material combination, the tool life computed using Taylor’s tool life model is ____________ minutes (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
