The discharge through a wholly drowned orifice is given by (where H1 = Height of water (on the upstream side) above the top of the orifice, H2 = Height of water (on the downstream side) above the bottom of the orifice and H = Difference between two water levels on either side of the orifice)
A. $${\text{Q}} = {{\text{C}}_{\text{d}}} \times {\text{b}}{{\text{H}}_1}\sqrt {2{\text{gh}}} $$
B. $${\text{Q}} = {{\text{C}}_{\text{d}}} \times {\text{b}}{{\text{H}}_2}\sqrt {2{\text{gh}}} $$
C. $${\text{Q}} = {{\text{C}}_{\text{d}}} \times {\text{b}}\left( {{{\text{H}}_2} - {{\text{H}}_1}} \right)\sqrt {2{\text{gh}}} $$
D. $${\text{Q}} = {{\text{C}}_{\text{d}}} \times {\text{bH}}\sqrt {2{\text{gh}}} $$
