An orifice having an area of 0.00785 m² is attached to a vertical side of a cylindrical tank having a diameter of 4 m. The weight of the water discharged in 1 minute and 45 seconds is 22550 N. under a constant head of 1.2 m. The jet strikes a point 1.92 m horizontally from the vena contracta and 0.80 m. vertically below the orifice. Determine the coefficient of contraction. h=1.2m V 0.80 1.92m
