Solution:

Consider two cross-section areas of a sprue. One is the inlet area (maximum cross-section) and the other is the choke area at a height 'h' below the inlet. Molten metal is dropped at a height 'ht' above the inlet area. What is the correct value of the ratio of the throat area to the inlet area of the sprue? (Assume laminar flow and Bernoulli's principle applies)
