A tank with vertical sides has a division wall provided with a 0.02 m2 orifice. The tank has a trapezoidal cross section area of 18 m2 and 14 m2 for A and B, respectively. The difference in elevation between the water surface elevation in the two chambers is 4m. Surface water at A is higher than B. Use C = 0.60 and C, = 0.98.
