    Two large, identical water tanks, $1$ and $2$ , kept on the top of a building of height $H$, are filled with water up to height $h$ in each tank. Both the tanks contain an identical hole of small radius on their sides, close to their bottom. A pipe of the same internal radius as that of the hole is connected to tank $2$ , and the pipe ends at the ground level. When the water flows the tanks $1$ and $2$ through the holes, the times taken to empty the tanks are $t_1$ and $t_2$, respectively. If $H=\left(\frac{16}{9}\right) h$, then the ratio $t_1 / t_2$ is. . . . .
