Question

) A 75 mm-diameter orifice is on the vertical
side of a closed tank. The tank rests on a flat ground
and the orifice is 0.5 m above the ground. Filled with
four fluids with air on the topmost portion that is under
a pressure of 15 KPa, and the rest of specific gravities of
0.80, 1.0, and 1.50, respectively, the jet hits the ground
at a horizontal distance of 3.75 m. If the liquids have the
same thickness, and the power lost in the system is 233
watts, determine the following:
(a) The initial discharge in L/s if C=0.63.
(b) The thickness of each liquid in m.
(c) The coefficient of contraction.
