A manufacturer makes two types of drinking straws: one with a square cross-sectional shape, and the other type the typical round shape. The amount of material in each straw is to be the same. That is, the length of the perimeter of the cross section of each shape is the same. For a given pressure drop, what is the ratio of the flowrates through the straws? Assume the drink is viscous enough to ensure laminar flow and neglect gravity.
