HYDRO EXPERIMENT NO.3 3. Calculate the theoretical discharge through a vertical orifice 0.3 m square in the side of a tank if the free surface of the liquid in the tank is 150 mm above the top edge of the orifice. Compare this value with that obtained by multiplying the orifice area by the theoretical velocity at its center.
