13. A circular orifice 15-mm diameter is located 0.35 m above the bottom of a rectangular tank 50 cm by 80 cm in plan area. At a given instant, the height of the fluid in the tank is 1.55 m. To reduce the height of the fluid by 0.4 m, the orfice needs to be continuously discharging for 307 seconds as measured from that given instant. Calculate the coefficient of discharge of the orifice.
