Wrought ironwork is forged by a blacksmith using an __________(a) hammer(b) sponger(c) rafter(d) anvilThis question was posed to me in semester exam.Asked question is from Steel and Iron Work in chapter Rules and Methods of Measurement of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer»

The correct option is (d) anvil

To elaborate: Anvils are as massive as they are practical, because the higher their INERTIA, the more efficiently they cause the ENERGY of striking tools to be transferred to the work piece. On a quality anvil, the smith’s hammer should rebound with almost as much energy as the smith puts into the DOWNWARD STROKE, ultimately making the smith’s job easier and less PHYSICALLY strenuous.
