A calibration test of a 0.00785 m2 circular sharp-edged orifice in a vertical side of a large tank showed a discharge of 22,300 N of water in 1 minute and 40 seconds at a constant head of 1.20 m. Measurement of the jet showed that it traveled 1.92 m. horizontally while dropping 0.80 m. a. What is the nearest value of the coefficient of contraction? Round off to four decimal places. b. What is the nearest value of the coefficient of velocity? Round off to four decimal places. c. What is the nearest value of the coefficient of discharge? Round off to four decimal places.
