Question
An orifice at the bottom of a rectangular tank has a cross-sectional area of 0.004m². The tank has a cross-section of 3m x 2m.
a. If it takes 2078 sec. to empty the tank if it contains water at a depth of 5.6m, find the coefficient of discharge.
b. Compute the time to lower the water surface from 5.6m to 3m using C = 0.62.
