Problems 3. Weight is added to two halves of a mold (top and bottom layer) to prevent them from separating due to the pressure exerted by the molten metal (buoyancy). Consider a solid cylindrical steel casting, 5 inches in diameter and 10 inches high, produced by sand casting Each part of the mold is 20 inches by 20 inches and 15 inches deep. The parting line is in the middle of the piece. Estimate the clamping force required. Assume that the molten metal has a density of 500 lb/1t° and that sand has a density of 100 1b/ft3 Assume a density for the molten metal of 500 lb/ft3. 20 in 20 in
