Two vertical identical conical tanks (both inverted) have their vertices connected by a short horizontal pipe equipped with a control valve. With the valve closed, one tank is filled with water up to its brim and the other only up to a depth 1/2 the height of the tank. If the valve is opened to allow the water to flow through the connecting pipe, find the depth at which the water will stabilize. Each tank has base diameter of 2m and height of 2m.

Transcribed Image Text:Two vertical identical conical tanks (both inverted) have their vertices connected by a short horizontal pipe equipped
with a control valve. With the valve closed, one tank is filled with water up to its brim and the other only up to a depth
½ the height of the tank. If the valve is opened to allow the water to flow through the connecting pipe, find the depth
at which the water will stabilize. Each tank has base diameter of 2m and height of 2m.
