1. In a test to determine the discharge coefficient of a 70 by 35 mm Venturi meter, the total weight of water passing through the meter in 5 minutes was 3.5 kN. A mercury differential gage connected to the inlet and throat of the meter showed an average mercury difference during that time of 300 mm.. Determine the actual discharge if the same meter is used later on and a 250 mm difference is then observed.

1. In a test to determine the discharge
coefficient of a 70 by 35 mm Venturi meter, the
total weight of water passing through the meter
in 5 minutes was 3.5 kN. A mercury differential
gage connected to the inlet and throat of the
meter showed an average mercury difference
during that time of 300 mm.. Determine the
actual discharge if the same meter is used
later on and a 250 mm difference is then
observed.
