major axes of 2"‚ 3" and 4" is to be die cast in a graphite mold. The mold has a specific weight of 350 lbf/ft3 and outer dimensions of 6" by 6" by 6" as shown in the figure. Note that the parting line of the mold lies on the plane of maximum cross-section of the casting. In this case a clamping force of 7.3 lbf is needed to keep the mold haves from separation. Being a tooling engineer‚ you are asked to re-design the depth of the mold so that there is no need for clamping force in casting this
