Find the discharge through totally drowned orifice of width 2.3 m if the difference of water levels on both side of the orifice be 40 cm. The height of water from to and bottom of the orifice are 2.6 m and 2.75 m respectively.

Find the discharge through totally drowned orifice of width 2.3 m if the difference of water levels on both side of the orifice be 40 cm. The height of water from to and bottom of the orifice are 2.6 m and 2.75 m respectively. Correct Answer .56 m3/s

Q = Cd * b * (H2 – H1) √2gH Here, b = 2.3 H2 = 2.75 H1 = 2.6 H = 40 Q = .56 m3/s.
