A 200 mm wide and 42.0 mm thick plate made of low carbon steel is to be reduced in one pass in a rolling operation. As the thickness is reduced, the plate widens by 4%. The entrance speed of the plate is 15.0 m/min. The roll radius is 325 mm and the rotational speed is 49.0 rev/min. i. If the current horsepower of the available rolling machine is 950 HP, how much thickness could the machine reduce the plate thickness to? ii. If the required thickness needs to be 34.0mm, how could the original width of the plate be changed in order to use the same machine?

Question
A 200 mm wide and 42.0 mm thick plate made of low carbon steel is to be reduced in one pass in a
rolling operation. As the thickness is reduced, the plate widens by 4%. The entrance speed of the
plate is 15.0 m/min. The roll radius is 325 mm and the rotational speed is 49.0 rev/min.
i. If the current horsepower of the available rolling machine is 950 HP, how much thickness could
the machine reduce the plate thickness to?
ii. If the required thickness needs to be 34.0mm, how could the original width of the plate be
changed in order to use the same machine?
