A Venturimeter (throat diameter $$=10.5$$ $$cm$$) is fitted to a water pipe line (internal diameter $$=21.0$$ $$cm$$) in order to monitor flow rate. To improve accuracy of measurement, pressure difference across the venturimeter is measured with the help of an inclined tube manometer, the angle of inclination being $${30^0}$$ (see figure below). For manometer reading of $$9.5$$ $$cm$$ of mercury, find the flow rate.Discharge coefficient of venture is $$0.984.$$
