Question 34

Open question

A pressure die casting set-up was tested by injecting water (density 1000 kg/m

) at a pressure of 200 bar. Mould-filling time was found to be 0.05 s. Afterward, the actual casting is made by injecting the liquid metal (density 2000 kg/m

) at an injection pressure of 400 bar. Neglect all losses (friction, viscous-effect, etc.). The approximate mould-filling time (in s) is

Question 40

Open question
PINAT2 marksNeeds review
A square cross-section wooden column of length 3140 mm is pinned at both ends. For the wood, Young’s modulus of elasticity is 12 GPa and allowable compressive stress is 12 MPa. The column needs to support an axial compressive load of 200 kN. Using a factor of safety of 2.0 in the computation of Euler’s buckling load, the minimum cross-sectional area (in mm

) of the column is _____
