Two orifices are placed in a vertical wall in such a way that lower one is 30 cm above the ground while upper one is
6 m above the first one. Horizontal distance travelled by the
jet from top orifice is 3 times than the one travelled by lower
jet. Both distances are measured at ground level. Assume
Cv = 0.96 for both orifices, find the head of water behind
the wall.
