The sedimentation tank is due for cleaning and its volume will be drained into half. The tank has a uniform cross-section area of 10m by 10m and currently filled at depth of 6 meters. If the orifice drainer has a coefficient of 0.90 and diameter of 5 centimeters, how much time in seconds would it take to reach the desired level for cleaning?
