A tank initially holds 100 gallons of salt solution in which 50 lbs of salt has been dissolved. A pipe fills the tank with brine

at the rate of 3 gpm, containing 2 lbs of dissolved salt per gallon. Assuming that the mixture is kept uniform by stirring, a drain pipe draws out of the tank the mixture at 2 gpm. Find the amount of salt in the tank at the end of 30 minutes.
A. 171.24 lbs
B. 124.11 lbs
C. 143.25 lbs
D. 105.12 lbs

Answer:

A. 171.24 Ibs

Explanation:

To find the amount of salt in the tank,

Let Q = Amount of salt in the mixture

And let 100 + (3-2)t = 100 + t be the volume of mixture at anytime t.

Rate of gain - Rate of loss = dQ / dt

Concentration of salt = Q / (100+t)

For the linear differential equation,

dQ / dt = 3(2) - 2 [Q/ (100 + t)]

dQ /dt + Q [2 / (100 + t)] = 6

The general solution of the linear differential equation is:

Q (i.f) = ∫ A(t) (i.f) dt + C

Therefore,

i.f = e ^ ∫ P(t) dt

And P(t) = 2 / (100 + t)

i.f = e ^ ∫ 2 / (100 + t)

  = e ^ 2㏑ (100 + t)

     = e ^ ㏑ (100 + t) ^2 = (100 + t) ^2

Q(100 + t) ^ 2 = ∫6 (100 + t) ^2 dt + C

 Q(100 + t) ^2 = 2(100 + t) ^ 3 + C

  When t = 0, Q = 50

Therefore,

50( 100) ^2 = 2(100) ^3 + C

 C = -1.5 * 10 ^6

therefore, when t = 30,

Q (100 + 30) ^2 = 2(100 + 30) ^3 - 1.5 * 10 ^6

 Q (400) ^2 = 2(130) ^3 - 1.5 * 10 ^6

    Q = 171.24 Ibs

Find the length of the third side of the triangle.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

v

Image result for What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle below

One way to solve this is to use Pythagorean theorem: the square of one leg of triangle plus square of other leg of the triangle equals c the hypotenuse (longest side of triangle). You might see this as the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.Nov 23, 2016

If the 250 kg bumper car that you are riding in hits another bumper car that is sitting still while driving 3.5 m/s, how much fo
Vilka [71]

Answer:

875 N

Explanation:

From this question, you didn't state the time taken for the bumper car to move or to hit the other bumper car. In calculations of force, time is often needed, because

Force = mass * acceleration, while

Acceleration = velocity / time, basically

Force = mass * velocity / time.

We have our mass, we have our velocity, but we haven't time. So, for this calculation, I'd assume our time to be 1s.

Going by the formula I stated, we can then say that

Force = 250 * 3.5 / 1

Force = 875 N

This means the force my bumper car have while moving at 3.5 m/s for an estimated time of 1s is 875 N
