tank has one of its side inclined inward at an angle of 30 degrees with horizontal. The free surface of the contained water is at Elev 15.25 m. The orifice located on the inclined side issues a jet, having its vena contracta at Elev 10.70 m. If the highest point in the trajectory of the jet is at Elev. 14.00m, find the actual velocity of the jet

Question
A tank has one of its side inclined inward at an angle of 30 degrees with horizontal. The free surface of the contained water is at Elev 15.25 m. The orifice located on the inclined side issues a jet, having its vena contracta at Elev 10.70 m. If the highest point in the trajectory of the jet is at Elev. 14.00m, find the actual velocity of the jet. Neglect air friction. Include Illustration if needed.
