A large tank discharges water through an orifice of 5 cm diameter at its bottom as shown in Fig. A.3. The orifice is at a depth of 5 m below the water surface and the air inside the tank is subject to a gauge pressure of 100 kPa. Given that the actual diameter of the water jet emerged from the orifice is 4.95 cm and the actual discharge is 33 L's, determine: (a) the coefficient of contraction, Ce, (b) the coefficient of velocity, Cy, and (c) the coefficient of discharge, Ca.
