A drawing would be valuable.

I am working on a design and analysis project for an engineering class and would like to use your problem for a group objective.

Could you record more parameters like:

1. Crucible size (mass, dimensions...) and material

2. Dimensions, locations (above or below crucible) and material of supports

3. What is the type of metal being melted and at what temperature

4. The characteristics of the bolts (size and type of bolt)

If you could provide that information, I would greatly appreciate it.
