| Description | DESCRIPTION OF EXPERIMENT |
| Experiment | Two cylindrical tanks are connected by a hose at the bottom. Water in one of the tanks flows into the second tank. Levels in both tanks are measured as functions of time. When the water is allowed to flow, it flows from the tank with the higher level to the one with the lower level. The levels change quickly at the beginning and more slowly later on. When the levesl have become equal, the flow of water stops.

| | Laws of balance V1(t) = V1(t - dt) + (- IV) * dt
INIT V1 = A1*h1_init
V2(t) = V2(t - dt) + (IV) * dt
INIT V2 = A2*h2_init Flows IV = k*SQRT(h1-h2)
Relations h1 = V1/A1
h2 = V2/A2
Parameters A1 = PI*0.1^2
A2 = PI*0.148^2
h1_init = 0.173
h2_init = 0.0297
k = 7.3e-5
