Suppose there are two lakes located on a stream. Clean water flows into the first lake, then the water from the first lake flows

into the second lake, and then water from the second lake flows further downstream. The in and out flow from each lake is 500 liters per hour. The first lake contains 100 thousand liters of water and the second lake contains 200 thousand liters of water. A truck with 500 kg of toxic substances crashes into the first lake. Assume that the water is being continually mixed perfectly by the stream.
a. Find the concentration of toxic substances as a function of time in both lakes.
b. When will the concentration in the first lake be below 0.001 kg per liter?
c. When will the concentration in the second lake be maximal?

Answer:

a.  For the first lake;

c = (m·t - 0.005·m·t²)/100000

For the second tank, we have;

c = m·t/200 - m·t²/80000

b. t ≈ 1.00505 hours

c. 200 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The flow rate of water in and out of the lakes = 500 liters/hour

The volume of water in the first lake = 100 thousand liters

The volume of water in the second lake = 200 thousand liters

The mass of toxic substances that entered into the first lake =  500 kg

The concentration of toxic substance in the first lake = m₁/(100000)

Therefore, we have;

The quantity of fresh water supplied at t hours = 500 × t

The change

The change in the mass of the toxic substance with time is given as follows

dm/dt = (m - m/100000 × 500 × t)/100000

c = (m·t - 0.005·m·t²)/100000

For the second tank, we have;

c = m/100000 × 500 × t - (m/100000 × 500 × t)/200000 × 500 × t

Using an online tool, we have;

c = m·t/200 - m·t²/80000

b. When c < 0.001 kg per liter, we have m < 0.001 × 100000, which gives m < 100

Substituting gives;

0.001 = (100·t - 0.005·100·t²)/100000, solving with an online tool, gives;

t ≈ 1.00505 hours

c. For maximum concentration, we have;

c = m·t/200 - m·t²/80000

m/200000 = m·t/200 - m·t²/80000

1/200000 = t/200 - t²/80000

dc/dt = d(t/200 - t²/80000)/dt = 0

Solving with an online tool gives t = 200 hours

In the figure above, square ABCD and triangle EFG have the same areas. If AB =6 and EG =8, what is the height o triangle EFG?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The height of triangle EFG is 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the area of a square ABCD

The area of a square is equal to

A=b^2

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

b=AB=6\ units

substitute

A=6^2=36\ units^2

step 2

Find the height of triangle EFG

The area of triangle EFG is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)

where

b is the base of triangle

h is the height of triangle

we have

b=EG=8\ units

A=36\ units^2 ---> area of triangle EFG is the same that the area of square ABCD

substitute the given values in the formula

36=\frac{1}{2}(8)(h)

solve for h

36=4h\\h=9\ units

therefore

The height of triangle EFG is 9 units

The measure of arc RPQ is...
Oliga [24]

Answer:

171 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If angle POS is 39 degrees, then the measure of arc PS is 39 degrees

You can apply this to arc SQ and QR

So:

39+90+42= measure of arc RPQ

171 degrees= measure of arc RPQ

What is the slope of the line on this graph between 10 and 20 seconds?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

3m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

delta y = 40m - 10m = 30m

delta x = 20s - 10s = 10s

slope = delta y / deltax = 30m / 10s = 3m/s
