2. A calibration test of a 15 mm circular sharp-edged orifice in the end of a 50 mm pipe showed a discharge of 0.8 liter per second of water when the pressure head on the center line of the pipe just upstream from the orifice was 2.70 m. The diameter of the jet at the vena contracta was found to be 12 mm. Compute the three orifice coefficients. Compute each coefficient independently from the other coefficients.
