Q1. How calculate the weight of plates
Ans. 
The weight of plates can be calculated by multiplying the density of the material by the volume of the plate.
• Determine the density of the material the plate is made of (e.g. steel has a density of 7850 kg/m^3)

• Measure the dimensions of the plate (length, width, thickness)

• Calculate the volume of the plate using the formula: volume = length x width x thickness

• Multiply the volume by the density to get the weight of the pla...read more

Q1. How many types of Beam
Ans. 
There are mainly three types of beams: Simply supported beam, Cantilever beam, and Overhanging beam.
• Simply supported beam is supported at both ends and carries load in the middle.

• Cantilever beam is supported at one end and carries load at the other end.

• Overhanging beam has one or both ends extending beyond its supports.

Q1. What is the casting solidification time?
Ans. 
Casting solidification time is the duration it takes for molten metal to solidify in a casting process.
• Casting solidification time depends on factors like material type, mold temperature, and casting geometry.

• Higher pouring temperatures generally result in shorter solidification times.

• Thicker sections of the casting will take longer to solidify compared to thinner sections.

• Aluminum alloys typically have shorter solidif...read more
