calibration test of a 2.5cm circular sharp edged orifice in the vertical side of the large tank showed a discahrge of 590 N of water collected in 81 seconds, when under a constant head of 4.70 m. In addition, measuremnt of the trajectory of the jet gave the following data: A point on the jet has the coordinates in cm (235, -30), with the orifice located at the origin of the rectangular coordinate system. Find the value of Cd.
