    From Earnest and Merchants' theory
    2φ + λ – α = 90
    where μ = co-efficient of friction = tan λ
    ∴  λ = 90 + 10 – 2 × 27.75
    ∴  = 44.5º
    μ= tan (44.5)= 0.98

    Correct Option: D

    From Earnest and Merchants' theory
    2φ + λ – α = 90
    where μ = co-efficient of friction = tan λ
    ∴  λ = 90 + 10 – 2 × 27.75
    ∴  = 44.5º
    μ= tan (44.5)= 0.98

    Given, rake angle, α = 10º
    shear angle, φ = 27.75
    depth of cut, t1 = 0.4 mm
    Let t2 = thickness of chip produced

    Now,  
    t1
    =
    sinφ
    t2cos(φ − α)

    ⇒  t2 =
    t1cos(φ − α)
    sinφ

    =
    0.4cos(27.75 − 10)
    sin(27.75)

    =
    0.4 cos 17.75
    = 0.818 mm

  1. A batch of 10 cutting tools could produce 500 components while working at 50 rpm with a tool feed of 0.25 mm/rev and depth of cut of 1 mm. A similar batch of 10 tools of the same specification could produce 122 components while working at 80 rpm with a feed of 0.25 mm/rev and 1 mm depth of cut. How many components can be produced with one cutting tool at 60 rpm?

    Velocity of first cutting tool,
    v1 = 50 × 0.25 = 12.5 mm/min
    Velocity of second cutting tool,
    v2 = 0.25 × 80= 20 mm/min
    Since tool life = number of component produce × tool constant
    ∴  Tool life for first tool = T1 = 500 × k
    Took life for second tool = T21 = 122 × k
    Now,   v1T1n = v2T2n
    ⇒  12.5(500 k)n = 20 × (22 k)n

    ⇒ 
    500k

    ⇒  n ln

    Hence number of components produced by one cutting tool at 60 rpm is:

    n = 0.12, c = 130 m /min
    C1 = 130 × 1.1 = 143 m/min
    V1 = 90 m /min
    V1T1n = C1
    90(T1)n = 143

    T1 =
    143
    1/0.12
    90

    T1 = 47.4min

    Correct Option: A

    n = 0.12, c = 130 m /min
    C1 = 130 × 1.1 = 143 m/min
    V1 = 90 m /min
    V1T1n = C1
    90(T1)n = 143

    T1 =
