Question

ln an orthogonal machining operation, the cutting and thrust forces are equal in magnitude. The uncut chip thickness is $0.5$ $\text{mm}$ and the shear angle is $15^{\circ}$. The orthogonal rake angle of the tool is $0^{\circ}$ and the width of cut is $2$ $\text{mm}$. The workpiece material is perfectly plastic and its yield shear strength is $500$ $\text{MPa}$. The cutting force is ___________________ $\text{N}$ (round off to the nearest integer).
