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

Torque =  r x F

|F| =  mg =  60 * 10 N = 600 N ( assuming g ~ 10m/s^2)

distance of fulcrum = torque / Force = 90/600 m = .15 m.
