What is meaning of k and h?

Q = kh^5/2.

Differential on both side.

dQ = 5/2kh^3/2dh.

Divide to Q on both side.

dQ/Q = 5dh/h.

Q = K*H^2.5.

On taking logarithm on both sides we get.

ln Q = ln K+2.5*lnH.

Now on differentiating the both sides we get the answer.

DISCHARGE Q = kH^5/2.

DIFFERENTIATE IT, WE GET-dQ = 5/2*kH^3/2*dH.

NOW DIVIDE-dQ/Q = 5/2*dH/H.

How you've calculated?

Please explain.
