The "Earing" phenomenon in metal forming is associated with
A cutting tool provides a tool life of 60 minutes while machining with the cutting speed of 60 m/min. When the same tool is used for machining the same material, it provides a tool life of 10 minutes for a cutting speed of 100 m/min. If the cutting speed is changed to 80 m/min for the same tool and work material combination, the tool life computed using Taylor's tool life model is ____minutes (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
A blanking operation is performed on C20 steel sheet to obtain a circular disc having a diameter of 20 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. An allowance of 0.04 is provided. The punch size used for the operation is _____mm (rounded off to 2 decimal places).

The thickness, width and length of a metal slab are 50 mm, 250 mm and 3600 mm, respectively. A rolling operation on this slab reduces the thickness by 10% and increases the width by 3%. The length of the rolled slab is \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\) mm (round off to one decimal place).
