SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the derivation of discharge over a rectangular weir, specifically addressing the velocity at an elemental height h, which is established as √(2gh) based on Bernoulli's equation. Participants express confusion regarding the application of Bernoulli's principle and its implications for fluid velocity and pressure at the weir's exit. The conversation highlights the importance of correctly applying Bernoulli's equation to derive fluid velocity and understand the atmospheric pressure acting on the fluid.
