The dynamic behavior of two identically sized resistance tanks connected in series is __________________?

Select your answer for: The dynamic behavior of two identically sized resistance tanks connected in series is __________________?
Show answer

Answer: B. Critically damped

Explanation

Two identical first-order non-interacting tanks in series result in a second-order system with a damping ratio of 1, making it critically damped.
