2. A cylindrical riser must be designed for a sand-casting mould. The casting itself is a steel
rectangular plate with dimensions 7.5 cm x 12.5 cm x 2.0 cm. Previous observations have
indicated that the total solidification time (T) for this casting = 1.6 min. The cylinder for the
riser will have a diameter-to-height ratio=1.0. Determine the dimensions of the riser so that
it’s T = 2.0 min. [5 Marks]
