Refer to Figure 10.7–2. Assume that the resistances obey the linear relation, so that the mass flow q_l through the left-hand resistance is q_l = (p_l – p)/R_l, with a similar linear relation for the right-hand resistance.

a. Create a Simulink subsystem block for this element.

b. Use the subsystem block to create a Simulink model of the system shown in Figure 10.7–5. Assume that the mass in flow rate is a step function.

c. Use the Simulink model to obtain plots of h₁(t) and h₂(t) for the following parameter values: A₁ = 2 m², A₂ = 5 m², R₁ = 400 m^-1 ∙ s^-1

R₂ = 600 m^-1 ∙ s^-1, ρ = 1000 kg/m³, q_mi = 50 kg/s, h₁(0) = 1.5 m, and h₂(0) 0.5 m.
