2b) Figure 3 shows a cooling curve of Cadmium (Cd). Determine (i) the solidification temperature; (ii) the superheat; (iii) the cooling rate, just before solidification begins;  (iv) the total solidification time;  (v) the local solidification time; and (vi) If the cooling curve was obtained at the center of the casting sketched in the figure, determine the mold constant, assuming that n = 2.
