Euler's equation in the differential form for the motion of liquids is given by

\(\frac { dp } { \rho } + g.dz + v.dv\) = 0

\(\frac { dp } { \rho } - g.dz + v.dv\) = 0

ρ.dp + g.dz + v.dv = 0

ρ.dp - g.dz + v.dv = 0

The discharge through a large rectangular orifice is given by (where H₁ = Height of the liquid above the top of the orifice, H₂ = Height of the liquid above the bottom of the orifice, b = Breadth of the orifice, and C_d = Coefficient of discharge)

Q = \(\frac { 2 } { 3 }\) Cd x b \(\sqrt2g\) (H₂ - H₁)

Q = \(\frac { 2 } { 3 }\) Cd x b \(\sqrt2g\) (H₂^1/2 - H₁^1/2)

Q = \(\frac { 2 } { 3 }\) Cd x b \(\sqrt2g\) (H₂^3/2 - H₁^3/2)

Q = \(\frac { 2 } { 3 }\) Cd x b \(\sqrt2g\)(H₂² - H₁²)
