An rectangular orifice with height 0.4 m and width of 0.6 m was used to measure the flow of a certain channel. Flow was controlled such that the  entirety of the discharge will be focused and exit on the orifice. Upon stabilization of conditions, it was observed that the height of the water above the  orifice can be taken as 1.2 meters and for a certain section upstream before the orifice, velocity can be considered constant at 1.7 meters per sec- ond. Assume your own water temperature and compute for the stream discharge considering a discharge velocity of 0.6812.
