A cylindrical tank, 1.5 m inside diameter has an orifice at its side 0.55m. above the bottom. If this tank is placed on a platform 3.0 m high and the tank filled with water, the jet coming from the orifice was noted to reach a point on the ground 6 m from the side of the tank. After a time, interval, the jet was noted to slow down and reach only 4 m from the same reference point. Compute the volume of the volute of water discharge from the orifice during the time interval between the two observations. Neglect air resistance and assume Cv for orifices to be 0.97.

A cylindrical tank, 1.5 m inside diameter has an orifice at its side 0.55m.
above the bottom. If this tank is placed on a platform 3.0 m high and the
tank filled with water, the jet coming from the orifice was noted to reach
a point on the ground 6 m from the side of the tank. After a time, interval,
the jet was noted to slow down and reach only 4 m from the same reference
point. Compute the volume of the volute of water discharge from the
orifice during the time interval between the two observations. Neglect air
resistance and assume Cv for orifices to be 0.97.
