A 500-gallon tank initially contains 220 gallons of pure distilled water. Brine containing 5 pounds of salt per gallon flows int

o the tank at the rate of 5 gallons per minute, and the well stirred mixture flows out of the tank at the rate of 5 gallons per minute. Find the amount of salt in the tank after 8 minutes.

Answer: The amount of salt in the tank after 8 minutes is 36.52 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salt in the tank is modelled by the Principle of Mass Conservation, which states:

(Salt mass rate per unit time to the tank) - (Salt mass per unit time from the tank) = (Salt accumulation rate of the tank)

Flow is measured as the product of salt concentration and flow. A well stirred mixture means that salt concentrations within tank and in the output mass flow are the same. Inflow salt concentration remains constant. Hence:

c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = \frac{d(V_{tank}(t) \cdot c(t))}{dt}

By expanding the previous equation:

c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = V_{tank}(t) \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt} + \frac{dV_{tank}(t)}{dt} \cdot c(t)

The tank capacity and capacity rate of change given in gallons and gallons per minute are, respectivelly:

V_{tank} = 220\\\frac{dV_{tank}(t)}{dt} = 0

Since there is no accumulation within the tank, expression is simplified to this:

c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = V_{tank}(t) \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt}

By rearranging the expression, it is noticed the presence of a First-Order Non-Homogeneous Linear Ordinary Differential Equation:

V_{tank} \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt} + f_{out} \cdot c(t) = c_0 \cdot f_{in}, where c(0) = 0 \frac{pounds}{gallon}.

\frac{dc(t)}{dt} + \frac{f_{out}}{V_{tank}} \cdot c(t) = \frac{c_0}{V_{tank}} \cdot f_{in}

The solution of this equation is:

c(t) = \frac{c_{0}}{f_{out}} \cdot ({1-e^{-\frac{f_{out}}{V_{tank}}\cdot t }})

The salt concentration after 8 minutes is:

c(8) = 0.166 \frac{pounds}{gallon}

The instantaneous amount of salt in the tank is:

m_{salt} = (0.166 \frac{pounds}{gallon}) \cdot (220 gallons)\\m_{salt} = 36.52 pounds

The mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes (with a standard deviation of 2 minutes) and the mean time it takes
11111nata11111 [884]
(a) Average time to get to school
Average time (minutes) = Summation of the two means = mean time to walk to bus stop + mean time for the bust to get to school = 8+20 = 28 minutes

(b) Standard deviation of the whole trip to school
Standard deviation for the whole trip = Sqrt (Summation of variances)

Variance = Standard deviation ^2
Therefore,
Standard deviation for the whole trip = Sqrt (2^2+4^2) = Sqrt (20) = 4.47 minutes

(c) Probability that it will take more than 30 minutes to get to school
P(x>30) = 1-P(x=30)
Z(x=30) = (mean-30)/SD = (28-30)/4.47 ≈ -0.45
Now, P(x=30) = P(Z=-0.45) = 0.3264
Therefore,
P(X>30) = 1-P(X=30) = 1-0.3264 = 0.6736 = 67.36%

With actual average time to walk to the bus stop being 10 minutes;

(d) Average time to get to school
Actual average time to get to school = 10+20 = 30 minutes

(e) Standard deviation to get to school
Actual standard deviation = Previous standard deviation = 4.47 minutes. This is due to the fact that there are no changes with individual standard deviations.

(f) Probability that it will take more than 30 minutes to get to school
Z(x=30) = (mean - 30)/Sd = (30-30)/4.47 = 0/4.47 = 0

From Z table, P(x=30) = 0.5
And therefore, P(x>30) = 1- P(X=30) = 1- P(Z=0.0) = 1-0.5 = 0.5 = 50%

Solve for e. T=e29<br><br><br> ​​ e=±3T√T<br><br> e=±3T<br><br> e=±3T√<br><br> ​ e=±9T√ ​
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

option (3) is correct.

e= \pm 3\sqrt{T}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given T=\frac{e^2}{9}

We have to solve for e.

Consider the given statement,

T=\frac{e^2}{9}

Cross multiply, we get,

\Rightarrow 9T={e^2}

Taking square root both sides , we get,

\Rightarrow \sqrt{9T}=e

We know square root of 9 is 3.

\Rightarrow \pm 3\sqrt{T}=e

Thus, option (3) is correct.

e= \pm 3\sqrt{T}
