A 100 gallon tank initially contains 100 gallons of sugar water at a concentration of 0.25 pounds of sugar per gallon suppose th

at sugar is added to the tank at a rate of p pounds per minute that sugar water is removed at a rate of 1 gallon per minute and that water in the tank is kept well mixed. What value of P should we pick so that that when 5 gallons of sugar solution is left in the tank the concentration is .5lbs of sugar/gallon?

At the start, the tank contains

(0.25 lb/gal) * (100 gal) = 25 lb

of sugar. Let S(t) be the amount of sugar in the tank at time t. Then S(0)=25.

Sugar is added to the tank at a rate of <em>P</em> lb/min, and removed at a rate of

\left(1\frac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)\left(\dfrac{S(t)}{100}\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm gal}\right)=\dfrac{S(t)}{100}\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm min}

and so the amount of sugar in the tank changes at a net rate according to the separable differential equation,

\dfrac{\mathrm dS}{\mathrm dt}=P-\dfrac S{100}

Separate variables, integrate, and solve for <em>S</em>.

\dfrac{\mathrm dS}{P-\frac S{100}}=\mathrm dt

\displaystyle\int\dfrac{\mathrm dS}{P-\frac S{100}}=\int\mathrm dt

-100\ln\left|P-\dfrac S{100}\right|=t+C

\ln\left|P-\dfrac S{100}\right|=-100t-100C=C-100t

P-\dfrac S{100}=e^{C-100t}=e^Ce^{-100t}=Ce^{-100t}

\dfrac S{100}=P-Ce^{-100t}

S(t)=100P-100Ce^{-100t}=100P-Ce^{-100t}

Use the initial value to solve for <em>C</em> :

S(0)=25\implies 25=100P-C\implies C=100P-25

\implies S(t)=100P-(100P-25)e^{-100t}

The solution is being drained at a constant rate of 1 gal/min; there will be 5 gal of solution remaining after time

1000\,\mathrm{gal}+\left(-1\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)t=5\,\mathrm{gal}\implies t=995\,\mathrm{min}

has passed. At this time, we want the tank to contain

(0.5 lb/gal) * (5 gal) = 2.5 lb

of sugar, so we pick <em>P</em> such that

S(995)=100P-(100P-25)e^{-99,500}=2.5\implies\boxed{P\approx0.025}

I need help and can you explain how you got the answer because I don’t understand how to do this..
Bond [772]

Answer:

9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is: A = bXh square units.

Therefore simply divide the area given 54 cm over base 6 cm to get the height. 54÷ 6 = 9

Hope this suffices.
