Electrochemical machining operations are performed with tungsten as the tool, and copper and aluminum as two different workpiece materials. Properties of copper and aluminum are given in the table below.

$$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Material } & \begin{array}{l} \text { Atomic mass } \\ \text { (amu) } \end{array} & \text { Valency } & \text { Density }\left(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^3\right) \\ \hline \text { Copper } & 63 & 2 & 9 \\ \hline \text { Aluminum } & 27 & 3 & 2.7 \\ \hline \end{array} $$

Ignore overpotentials, and assume that current efficiency is 100% for both the
workpiece materials. Under identical conditions, if the material removal rate (MRR) of copper is 100 mg/s, the MRR of aluminum will be ________________ mg/s (round-off to two decimal places).

A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is used to determine the distance between Surface SP and Surface SQ of an approximately cuboidal shaped part. Surface SP is declared as the datum as per the engineering drawing used for manufacturing this part. The CMM is used to measure four points P1, P2, P3, P4 on Surface SP, and four points Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 on Surface SQ as shown. A regression procedure is used to fit the necessary planes.

The distance between the two fitted planes is ___________ mm.
