A student is performing a turning operation with a workpiece with an initial diameter of 40 mm to produce a 30 mm diameter rod that is 100 mm long. The lathe power is 20 kW and is operating on 85% mechanical efficiency. If the student set the cutting speed to 0.5 m/min and the cutting tool is set to have a rake angle of 5 degrees:  a.) What material can we choose for the rod is the coefficient of friction is 0.5? b.) If we select 4130 normalized heat-treated steel for the rod, and coefficient of friction is 0.5, what will the maximum depth of cut we can achieve?
