Flow measurement

A rectangular orifice of 1.5m wide and 1.2m deep is fitted in one side of a large tank. The water level on one side of the orifice is 2m above the top edge of the orifice, while on the other side of the orifice, the water level is 0.4m below its top edge. Calculate the discharge through the orifice if Cd = 0.62.

A rectangular orifice 1.0 m wide and 1.5 m deep is discharging water from a vessel. The top edge of the orifice is 0.8 m below the water surface. Calculate the discharge through the orifice if Cd = 0.6. Also, calculate the percentage error if the orifice is treated as a small orifice.
