1. (a) A Mild Steel tube 42 mm outside diameter is turned on a lathe. The following
data was observed. Rake angle 320 , cutting speed 18m/min, feed 0.12 mm/rev,
length of chip 52mm, cutting force 180 kg, feed force 60kg. Calculate chip
thickness ratio, chip thickness, shear plane angle, chip velocity and coefficient
of friction and power.
