For the following questions answer them individually
In a machining operation cutting speed is reduced by 50%. Assuming n = 0.5, C = 300 in Taylor's equation. The increase in tool life is
In a linear arc welding process, the heat input per unit length is inversely proportional to
A composite bar made of Aluminium and Steel is fixed rigidly at supports P and Q as shown in figure. When the temperature of the bar is increased by $$10^\circ C$$, the reactions at the supports are (given $$E_{al} = 70 GPa, E_s = 210 GPa, \alpha_{al} = 11E - 6$$ mm/mm$$^\circ C$$ and $$\alpha_s = 12E - 6 mm/mm^\circ C$$)
