The above linear programming problem has

The principal stresses at a point inside a solid object are $${\sigma _1} = 100\,\,MPa,\,\,{\sigma _2} = 100\,\,MPa$$ and $${\sigma _3} = 0\,\,MPa.$$ The yield strength of the material is $$200$$ $$MPa.$$ The factor of safety calculated using Tresca (maximum shear stress) theory is $${n_T}$$ and the factor of safety calculated using Von Mises (maximum distortional energy) theory is $${n_V}$$. Which one of the following relations is TRUE?

The part of a gating system which regulates the rate of pouring of molten metal is

A cylindrical job with diameter of $$200$$ $$mm$$ and height of $$100$$ $$mm$$ is to be cast using modulus method of riser design. Assume that the bottom surface of cylindrical riser does not contribute as cooling surface. If the diameter of the riser is equal to its height, then the height of the riser (in $$mm$$) is
