In a sand casting process, a sphere and a cylinder of equal volumes are separately cast from the same molten metal under identical conditions. The height and diameter of the cylinder are equal. The ratio of the solidification time of the sphere to that of the cylinder is

During the filling process of a given sand mould cavity by metal through a horizontal runner of circular $$C.S,$$ the frictional head loss of the molten metal in the runner will increase with the

A solid cylinder of diameter $$D$$ and height equal to $$D,$$ and a solid cube of side $$L$$ are being sand cast by using the same material. Assuming there is no super-heat in both the cases, the ratio of solidification times of the cylinder to the solidification time of the cube is

In sand casting of hallow part of lead, a cylindrical core of diameter $$120mm$$ and height $$180mm$$ is placed inside the mould cavity. The densities of core material and lead are $$1600kg/{m^3}$$ and $$11300kg/{m^3}$$ respectively. The net force (in $$N$$) that tends to lift the core during pouring of molten metal will be
