Water flow rate to Baze University Hospital complex is to be measured by using a Venturi meter with mercury as manometric fluid. If the manometric height read from the instrument is \( 30 \mathrm{~cm} \), calculate the flow rate given the following relevant data: Water density, \( 1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \); mercury density, \( 13600 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \); instrument maximum cross section diameter, \( 10 \mathrm{~cm} \); instrument throat diameter, \( 30 \% \) of maximum cross section diameter; coefficient of discharge, \( 0.90 \).
