5. A liquid flows through an orifice located in the side of a tank as shown in the Figure below. A commonly used equation for detemining the volume rate of flow, Q, through the orifice is Q = 0.61A/2gh where A is the area of the orifice, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h is the height of the liquid above the orifice. Investigate the dimensional homogeneity of this formula. Good luck!
