a 12. circular sharp-edged orifice in the A calibration test of a mm vertical side of a large tank showed discharge of 587 N of water in 81 seconds at a constant head of 4.70 meters. Measurement of the water jet showed that it traveled 2.35 meters horizontally while dropping 30.50 centimeters. Determine the three orifice coefficients and draw the figure. Note: determine each coefficient independent from the other coefficients, solve them as equal to the ratio of the actual quantity to the theoretical guantity
