Caplets are used to support a sand core inside a sand mold cavity. The design of the caplets and the manner in which they are placed in the mold cavity surface allows each caplet to sustain a force of 45 N. Several caplets are located beneath the core to support it before pouring; and several other caplets are placed above the core to resist the buoyancy force during pouring. If the volume of the core = 5450 cm3 , and the metal poured is steel, determine the minimum number of caplets that should be placed (a) beneath the core, and (b) above the core (Sand density = 1.6 g/cm3 , steel density = 7.82 g/cm3 ).

Question

Caplets are used to support a sand core inside a sand mold cavity. The design
of the caplets and the manner in which they are placed in the mold cavity surface
allows each caplet to sustain a force of 45 N. Several caplets are located
beneath the core to support it before pouring; and several other caplets are
placed above the core to resist the buoyancy force during pouring. If the volume
of the core = 5450 cm3
, and the metal poured is steel, determine the minimum
number of caplets that should be placed (a) beneath the core, and (b) above
the core (Sand density = 1.6 g/cm3
, steel density = 7.82 g/cm3
).
