Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) True

To elaborate: Centrifugal casting is a technique which works on the principle of centrifugal force. Centrifugal force is a force that draws a rotating body away from the axis of rotation. This is basically caused by the inertia of the body. In this method of casting, molten metal is poured in the horizontal mould which rotates at high speed to form hollow castings.
