Initially a tank contains 10 liters of pure water. Brine of unknown (but constant) concentration of salt is flowing in at 1 lite

r per minute. The water is mixed well and drained at 1 liter per minute. In 20 minutes there are 15 grams of salt in the tank. What is the concentration of salt in the incoming brine?

Answer:

Therefore the concentration of salt in the incoming brine is 1.73 g/L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the amount of incoming and outgoing of water are equal. Then the amount of water in the tank remain same = 10 liters.

Let the concentration of salt  be a gram/L

Let the amount salt in the tank at any time t be Q(t).

\frac{dQ}{dt} =\textrm {incoming rate - outgoing rate}

Incoming rate = (a g/L)×(1 L/min)

                       =a g/min

The concentration of salt in the tank at any time t is = \frac{Q(t)}{10}  g/L

Outgoing rate = (\frac{Q(t)}{10} g/L)(1 L/ min) \frac{Q(t)}{10} g/min

\frac{dQ}{dt} = a- \frac{Q(t)}{10}

\Rightarrow \frac{dQ}{10a-Q(t)} =\frac{1}{10} dt

Integrating both sides

\Rightarrow \int \frac{dQ}{10a-Q(t)} =\int\frac{1}{10} dt

\Rightarrow -log|10a-Q(t)|=\frac{1}{10} t +c        [ where c arbitrary constant]

Initial condition when t= 20 , Q(t)= 15 gram

\Rightarrow -log|10a-15|=\frac{1}{10}\times 20 +c

\Rightarrow -log|10a-15|-2=c

Therefore ,

-log|10a-Q(t)|=\frac{1}{10} t -log|10a-15|-2 .......(1)

In the starting time t=0 and Q(t)=0

Putting t=0 and Q(t)=0  in equation (1) we get

- log|10a|= -log|10a-15| -2

\Rightarrow- log|10a|+log|10a-15|= -2

\Rightarrow log|\frac{10a-15}{10a}|= -2

\Rightarrow |\frac{10a-15}{10a}|=e ^{-2}

\Rightarrow 1-\frac{15}{10a} =e^{-2}

\Rightarrow \frac{15}{10a} =1-e^{-2}

\Rightarrow \frac{3}{2a} =1-e^{-2}

\Rightarrow2a= \frac{3}{1-e^{-2}}

\Rightarrow a = 1.73

Therefore the concentration of salt in the incoming brine is 1.73 g/L

A well know Statistical Institution claims that the average College tuition for a law degree costs at least thirty five thousand
kirill [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

Below are the null and alternative Hypothesis,

Null Hypothesis, H0: μ = 35000

Alternative Hypothesis, Ha: μ < 35000

Test statistic,

z = (xbar - mu)/(sigma/sqrt(n))

z = (33450 - 35000)/(5978/sqrt(50))

z = -1.83

P-value Approach

P-value = 0.0336

As P-value >= 0.02, fail to reject null hypothesis.

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the average College tuition for a law degree costs at least thirty five thousand dollars.
