# Given that
D=200#in mm Grinding Wheel diameter 
d=0.05#in mm depth of cut
v=30#m/min workpiece velocity
V=1800#in m/min wheel velocity

# Sample Problem on page no. 713

l=math.sqrt(D*d)
l1=l/2.54*(10**-1)

#the answer in the book is approximated to 0.13 in

#assume
C=2.#in mm
r=15.
t=math.sqrt(((4*v)/(V*C*r))*math.sqrt(d/D))
t1=t/2.54*(10**-1)

 Undeformed Chip Length = 0.124499 mm


 Undeformed chip Thickness = 0.000233 in

#example 25.2
#page no. 715
# Given that
D=10.#in inch Grinding Wheel diameter
N=4000.#in rpm 
w=1.#in inch 
d=0.002#in inch depth of cut
v=60.#inch/min feed rate of the workpiece

# Sample Problem on page no. 715

print("\n # force in Surface Grinding # \n")

Mrr=d*w*v#material removal rate
#for low carbon steel , the specific energy is 15hp min/in3
u=15.#in hp min/in3
P=u*Mrr*396000.#in lb/min
Fc = P/(2*3.14*N*(D/2.))

print'%s %.6f %s' %("\n\n Cutting Force =",Fc,"lb")


Fn = Fc+(30./100.)*Fc

print'%s %.6f %s' %("\n\n Thrust Force =",Fn,"lb")
 # force in Surface Grinding # 



 Cutting Force = 5.675159 lb


 Thrust Force = 7.377707 lb
