Solve for h
Solve for Q
Solve for Ao
Solve for Cd
Solve for G

| \( h_c \) = orifice center of head | \( in \) | \( mm \) |
| \( Q \) = orifice flow rate | \(ft^3 \;/\; sec\) | \(m^3 \;/\; s\) |
| \( A_o \) = orifice area | \(in^2 \) | \( mm^2 \) |
| \( C_d \) = orifice discharge coefficient | \( dimensionless \) | |
| \( G \) = orifice gravitational constant | \(lbf-ft^2 \;/\; lbm^2\) | \(N - m^2 \;/\; kg^2\) |
