In a single pass cold rolling operation, a flat plate is reduced to a thickness of 3 mm. In this operation, two rolls of diameter 400 mm each are rotating in opposite direction at 300 RPM, and the elastic deflection of these rolls is negligible. The angle of bite is 10°. If the neutral point is present at an angle of 7° from the exit side, then the thickness of the plate (in mm) at the neutral point is _____ . (Rounded off to 1 decimal place)

Mild steel plates are welded to make butt joints by arc welding with 85% heat transfer efficiency ignoring other losses. The first weld joint is made by selecting arc voltage of 30 V and current of 180 A with a welding speed of 6 mm/s. Using identical plates, a second weld joint is made with the same arc voltage and a welding speed of 8 mm/s. If both the welds have the same heat input, then the welding current (in A) for the second weld joint is _____. (Answer in integer)

A blank of 100 mm diameter is to be cut out of a 2 mm thick sheet through blanking operation. If the radial clearance between the punch and die is 6% of the sheet thickness then the diameter (in mm) of the punch is _____ . (Rounded off to 2 decimal places)
