# GATE Mechanical 2014 Set 3 | Question: 55

For spot welding of two steel sheets (base metal) each of $3$ $mm$ thickness, welding current of $10000$ $A$ is applied for $0.2$ $s$. The heat dissipated to the base metal is $1000$ $J$. Assuming that the heat required for melting $1$ $mm^3$ volume of steel is $20$ $J$ and interfacial contact resistance between sheets is $0.0002$ $Ω$, the volume (in $mm^3$) of weld nugget is _______
