In sand-mold casting of a metal, it takes 180 seconds for complete solidification of a 27 cm3 cube-shaped casting. All other parameters remaining constant, the total solidification time (in seconds, rounded off to one decimal place) for a cylinder-shaped [radius = 1 cm and height = 6 cm] casting of the same metal, is _______.

Video solution at 10:25. According to Choroniv rule, the time of solidification is related to square of length of casting. length is calculated by dividing volume by total area.

length is calculated by dividing volume by total area.
See lessSolidification time t = k (V/A)2 From the given data tcube = 180 sec where V = 27 cm3 so a = 3cm Putting the formula we get 180 = k (27/54)2 In case of cylinder having r = 1 cm and h = 6 cm Putting the formula hwe get t = k (rh/2h+2r)2 Where volume = Πr2 h and area = 2Πr2 + 2 Πrh Hence tcylinder = kRead more
Solidification time t = k (V/A)2
From the given data tcube = 180 sec where V = 27 cm3 so a = 3cm
Putting the formula we get
180 = k (27/54)2
In case of cylinder having r = 1 cm and h = 6 cm
Putting the formula hwe get t = k (rh/2h+2r)2
Where volume = Πr2 h and area = 2Πr2 + 2 Πrh
Hence tcylinder = k (6/14)2
Comparing solidification time equation of cube and cylinder we got solidification time of cylinder
t = 180* (6/7)2 = 132.24 sec
