What is the maximum oil level in tank 2


Two vertical, cylindrical tanks, each 10m high, are installed side-by-side in a tank farm, their bottoms at the same level. The tanks are connected at their bottoms by a horizontal pipe 2m long, with inside diameter 0.03 m. The first tank (1) is full of oil and the second tank (2) is empty. Moreover, tank 1 has a cross-sectional area twice that of tank 2. The first tank also has another outlet (to atmosphere) at the bottom, composed of a short horizontal pipe 2m long, 0.03m diameter. Both of the valves of the horizontal pipes are opened simultaneously. What is the maximum oil level in tank 2? Assume laminar flow in the horizontal pipes, and neglect kinetic, entrance-exit losses.
