A tank with a capacity of 1000 L is full of a mixture of water and chlorine with a concentration of 0.02 g of chlorine per liter

. In order to reduce the concentration of chlorine, fresh water is pumped into the tank at a rate of 10 L/s. The mixture is kept stirred and is pumped out at a rate of 25 L/s. Find the amount of chlorine in the tank as a function of time. (Let y be the amount of chlorine in grams and t be the time in seconds.)

At the start, the tank contains

(0.02 g/L) * (1000 L) = 20 g

of chlorine. Let <em>c</em> (<em>t</em> ) denote the amount of chlorine (in grams) in the tank at time <em>t </em>.

Pure water is pumped into the tank, so no chlorine is flowing into it, but is flowing out at a rate of

(<em>c</em> (<em>t</em> )/(1000 + (10 - 25)<em>t</em> ) g/L) * (25 L/s) = 5<em>c</em> (<em>t</em> ) /(200 - 3<em>t</em> ) g/s

In case it's unclear why this is the case:

The amount of liquid in the tank at the start is 1000 L. If water is pumped in at a rate of 10 L/s, then after <em>t</em> s there will be (1000 + 10<em>t</em> ) L of liquid in the tank. But we're also removing 25 L from the tank per second, so there is a net "gain" of 10 - 25 = -15 L of liquid each second. So the volume of liquid in the tank at time <em>t</em> is (1000 - 15<em>t </em>) L. Then the concentration of chlorine per unit volume is <em>c</em> (<em>t</em> ) divided by this volume.

So the amount of chlorine in the tank changes according to

\dfrac{\mathrm dc(t)}{\mathrm dt}=-\dfrac{5c(t)}{200-3t}

which is a linear equation. Move the non-derivative term to the left, then multiply both sides by the integrating factor 1/(200 - 5<em>t</em> )^(5/3), then integrate both sides to solve for <em>c</em> (<em>t</em> ):

\dfrac{\mathrm dc(t)}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac{5c(t)}{200-3t}=0

\dfrac1{(200-3t)^{5/3}}\dfrac{\mathrm dc(t)}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac{5c(t)}{(200-3t)^{8/3}}=0

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\left[\dfrac{c(t)}{(200-3t)^{5/3}}\right]=0

\dfrac{c(t)}{(200-3t)^{5/3}}=C

c(t)=C(200-3t)^{5/3}

There are 20 g of chlorine at the start, so <em>c</em> (0) = 20. Use this to solve for <em>C</em> :

20=C(200)^{5/3}\implies C=\dfrac1{200\cdot5^{1/3}}

\implies\boxed{c(t)=\dfrac1{200}\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{(200-3t)^5}5}}

Jordan is saving to buy a computer that costs $425. So far she has saved $125, and she adds $20 to her savings each week. How ma
Ber [7]

Answer:

15 more weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

425 - 125 (what shes already saved)

300 divided by 20 (amount shes saving each week)

Result is 15, so 15 more weeks.

Hope this helped :)

If you mean how many weeks total, 125 according to the 20 dollars a week would bring it 22 weeks i think.. since the answer answer is 21.2 weeks exactly when you divide 425 by 20.

1. Suppose y varies directly as x. If y = 3 when x = 15. then find x when y = 5.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

when y=3,X=15

here X is five times the value of y

so now when y= 5 then the value of X will be 25

hope you understand......

The recipe says he needs 450 grams of rice for 6 people
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

1.35kg

Step-by-step explanation:

450g : 6 people

x : 18 people

To get from 6 to 18, multiply by 3 so do the same to the other side

450 × 3 = 1350g

To convert from g to kg divide by 1000

1350 ÷ 1000 = 1.35kg
