Two identical vertical cylindrical tanks D [ m ] in diameter and L [ m ] high are placed side by side as shown in

Two identical vertical cylindrical tanks D[m] in diameter and L[m] high are placed side by side as shown in the illustration below. They are connected at the bottom by a tube L1[m] long and d[m] in diameter. At time t=0, tank B is full of oil and tank A is empty. A short tube L2[m] long and d[m] in diameter is also an outlet from tank B. Both outlet tube and connecting tube are horizontal and at the bottom of the tanks. Both tubes are opened simultaneously at t=0.
a) Formulate a mathematical model that describe the change in the levels of tankA and tankB with respect to time.
b) Solve the models and determine the maximum level in tank A.
Assume viscous flow through the tubes so that:
v2=d2ghB32L2
v1=d2g(hB-hA)32L1
Data:
D=2[m] tank diameter
L=3[m] Initial height of oil in tank B
d=0.01[m] tube diameter
L1=0.50[m]
L2=0.25[m]
Density =999
Viscosity =1x10-3
C) find an equation for hA & hB
Note : without using nuemerical methods (Euler , RK , etc ) and without using 2nd order DE.
