For small feeds, the apparent shear strength of a material in creases With decreases is 11nperfonned chip thickness. Why?
The relation between shear angle, friction angle and rake angle derived 11smg Merchant's theory are not m q11antities agreement with experimental relationship State the reasons

During turning process with -30 mm tool the unreformed chip thickness of 0.2 mm and WIdth of cut of 2 5 mm were used. The Side rake angle of the to 01 was a choosen that the machining operation could be approXImated to be orthogonal cutting The tangential cutting force and thrust force were 1177 N and 560 N respectively Calculate The Side rake angle CoeffiCIent of friction at the rake face The dyn3lll1c shear strength of the work material

A plants manufactures two products A and uSIng three input labour, material R and material S To make one unit of product it requires 6 kg of R and 7.5 kg of and 9 person-hours of labour. To make one urgent of B it reqUires 12 kg of Rand 4.5 kg of Sand 6 person-hours of labour. The demands for the products are such that the plant can sell as much of each of the product as it can produce. It earns a profit 0f Rs. 30 per urgent of A and RsA 0 per unit of B. However only 900 kg of Rand 675 kg of Sand 1200 person-hours of labour are available each day Formulate the plant's strategy as a linear program to maximize the profit
