GATE 2020 Civil Engineering Q51

Question

A circular water tank of 2 m diameter has a circular orifice of diameter 0.1 m at the bottom. Water enters the tank steadily at a flow rate of 20 litre/s and escapes through the orifice. The coefficient of discharge of the orifice is 0.8. Consider the acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/s² and neglect frictional losses. The height of the water level (in m, round off to two decimal places) in the tank at the steady state, is ________.

Accepted Answer
