I've got to say, you are better off looking at the circuit theory.
Actually, I know of one university program that used to teach Circuit Theory 101
[don't know if they still do it] in terms of all three types of components, electrical,
mechanical, and fluid, as they all have similar 1st-order defining equations.
resistor, capacitor, inductor are similar to
dashpot, mass, spring, are similar to
pipe, reservoir, [something]
[shoot, it's 3AM!].
