This is actually correct: The original Torricelli Theorem formula uses Area Vs Diameter. The trouble with engineering formulas is you have to get ALL the UNITS at the same level...ie: compatible with each other.

You can juggle all the units...but it can be Tedious.

What that means is: You cant Mix MPH and Meters per second in the same formula. NB
