lrise to the height of the surface of the fluid in the vessel. 422. Prop. To determine the horizontal distance to which afluid will spout from an orifice in the vertical side of a vessel. Let the vessel ABCD be filled to the level AB. If the fluidissue horizontally from the orifice O, the equation… … x=CY=2Vhy=2Vha-.or the horizontal distance isequal to twice the ordinate atthe orifice, in a semicircle whosediameter is the vertical distancefrom the surface of the fluid tothe horizontal plane. Cor. When the orifice is atthe middle of BC, the range is amaximum, and at equal dis-tances above and…
