Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 70 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Pure water

is pumped into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at the same rate. Determine a differential equation for the amount of salt A(t) in the tank at time t > 0. What is A(0)? (Use A for A(t).)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 70 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Pure water is pumped into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at the same rate.

Let Q(t) be the quantity of salt at time t.

Q(0) = 70 pounds

Inflow of water = outflow = 4 gal/min

So resulting volume of tank at time t = 400 gallons

Rate of change of salt = inflow - outflow

= 0 - \frac{Q(t)}{400}

i.e. \frac{dQ}{dt} =\frac{-Q(t)}{400}

This is a variable separable equation

\frac{dQ}{Q}=-\frac{dt}{400} \\ln Q = {-\frac{t}{400}} +C\\Q = A e^{-\frac{t}{400}}

Use when t =0 Q = 70

A =70

So A(t) = Q(t) = 70 e^{-\frac{t}{400}} and

A(0) = Q(0) = 70 lbs.

1.4/2=0.7=r
height=3.5
V=3.5*3.14*0.7^2

Answer:

Step 2 contains error in the given problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

\frac{1}{2}x-3=\frac{1}{3}x+6

Step 1: identifying the LCM.

The LCM identified is 6.

This step is correct.

In the next step, we multiply the LCM with each term of the equation.

Step 2:

\frac{6}{1}(\frac{1}{2}x) -3 =\frac{6}{1}(\frac{1}{3}x)+6

However,

In the given solution, the LCM is not multiplied with each term.

Hence,

Step 2 contains error in the given problem.
