In a test to determine the three orifice coefficients under constant head of water of 1.8 m, it was observed that the diameter of the jet at the vena-contracta of a 60-mm-diameter orifice was found to be 48 mm. The weight of water collected in 100 sec was 1030o N. Determine the following: (a) The coefficient of velocity. (b) The power lost in the orifice in watts. (c) The horizontal distance (m) that the water jet hits the ground
