Assignment 05

1. A cube shaped casting “X” solidifies in 5 min. The solidification time in min for a cube shaped
casting “Y” of the same material, which is 8 times heavier than the original casting “X”, will be
a. 10
b. 20
c. 24
d. 40

𝑉 2
Solution : 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 = 𝐾 ( )
𝐴

For cube (𝑉/𝐴) = 𝑎/6


𝑡1 𝑎 2 𝑎 2
= ( 1) and 𝑡2 = 5 ( 2) ………………(1)
𝑡2 𝑎 2 𝑎 1

8 times heavier means mass of the casting is 8 times more than the earlier
M1 = Ꝭ1 × V1 and M2 = Ꝭ2 × V2
M2 = 8 M1 as the material is same so {Ꝭ1 = Ꝭ2}
V2 = 8 V i.e. 𝑎23 = 8𝑎13 hence 𝑎2 = 2 𝑎1
Substituting 𝑎2 in equation (1), we get

2𝑎1 2
𝑡2 = 5 ( ) , 𝒕𝟐 = 𝟐𝟎 𝒎𝒊𝒏
𝑎1
