"Assume the pressure driven flow into and out of the tanks is linearly proportional to tank levels. The steady state flowrate through the tanks is 3 cubic ft per minute, the steady state heights are 7 and 3 feet, respectively, and a constant cross-sectional area 5 sq. ft. The equations are written as\n",
