Q3. A mould has a down sprue whose length is 20cm and the cross sectional area of the base of
the down sprue is 1 cm^2. The down sprue feeds a horizontal runner leading into a mould
cavity of volume 1000cm^3. The time required to fill the mould cavity will be:
A. 4.05 s
B. 5.05 s
C. 6.05 s
D. 7.25 s

Answer: B

Explanation:
Velocity of metal at the bottom of the down sprue
√2gh = √2 x 9.81 x 20/100
= 1.9809m/s = 198.09cm/s
Time for filling the mould cavity = 100/AV = 1000/ (1 x 198.09)
= 5.048 s
Q4. A casting size of 100mm X 100mm X 50mm is required. Volume shrinkage of metal 2.6%.
If the height of riser is 80mm and the riser, volumes desired is 4 times the shrinkage in casting,
the riser diameter in mm should be :
A. 14.38
B. 20.34
C. 28.76
D. 57.52

Answer: C

Explanation:
V = 100 x 100 x 50 = 50 x10^4mm^3
Shrinkage volume = 2.6 x50 x1064^4/100 = 13000mm^3
Volume of riser = 4 x 13000 = 52000m^3
Πd^2h/4 = πd^2 x 80 = 52000
