12. A 25-feet high open rectangular tank, with base 5 t by 10 t, is equally divided into two compartments by a vertical wall with a square hole at its centroid af side 0.5 inches. The left compartment contains 15 feet of oil, with specific gravity of 0.8, which is kept constant by adding more oil into that said compartment. After a minute that the orifice is discharging from the left to the right compartment, the oil layer on the right rose by 0.6 inches. What is the coefficient of discharge of the orifice? A. 0.946 B. 0.843 C. 0.964 D. 0.834
