Answer:

Q ≅ 1.53 m³/s

Explanation:

From the given information:

The flow rate of the orifice is:

[tex]v = c_v \sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

[tex]v = 0.90 \times \sqrt{2*9.81 * 10}[/tex]

where;

[tex]Q = c_d \times \sqrt{2gh} \times A[/tex]; &

[tex]c_d = c_c \times c_v[/tex]

∴

[tex]Q = c_c \times c_v \sqrt{2gh} \times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times d^2[/tex]

[tex]Q = 0.90 \times 0.62 \sqrt{2*9.81*10} \times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.5^2[/tex]

[tex]Q = 0.558 \times 14.00714104 \times 0.1963495408[/tex]

Q ≅ 1.53 m³/s
