Represent approximately the pressing behavior of clay in a graphic with abscissa indicating pressure, and ordinate representing % pressed density. The curve should nearly obey %d=f(P) =KP^(n)(n~~0.4) function. The highest density was obtained for 75%(0.75) pressed density (empty volume) for 69 Mpa,%63 pressed density at 7MPa in 100cm^(3) empty space of a cylindrical mould having 2.54cm diameter ( 1 inch) (5P). 

Assuming rho th of clay ~=2.5g//cm^(3), estimate the energy stored in your pressed pellet by integration (check units) (10P), (Use 0.75 for 69 MPa pressure to calculate K) 

Calculate the distance the piston entered into the mould ( 2P), calculate the weight of the pellet you obtained ( 3 P)
