Water flows through a Venturi meter as shown below. Determine the discharge coefficient, Cd, of the Venturi meter if the actual discharge is determined to be 2.104 cfs. Use D1 = 12.07 in., D2 = 4.06 in., y = 8.26 in. Points 1 and 2 are centerlines of the inlet and throat, respectively. Round off to five decimal places.
