The tanks contain oil. With the valve in the tube closed, the oil surfaces are 4m in the larger tank and 0.6 m in the smaller above the tube. With c=0.78, find the time required for the surfaces to equalize following a quick opening of the valve. Assume the properties of the tube to be similar to that of an orifice.
