A single-pass rolling operation reduces a 20-mm-thick plate to 18 mm. The starting plate is 200 mm wide. Roll radius = 250 mm and rotational speed = 12 rev/min. The work metal has a strength coefficient = 600 MPa and a strain hardening exponent = 0.22. Determine (a) roll force, (b) roll torque, and (c) power required for this operation.
