A large tank is filled to capacity with 500 gallons of pure water. Brine containing 2 pounds of salt per
gallon is pumped into the tank at a rate of 5 gal/min. The well-mixed solution is pumped out at the
same rate.
a) Find the number A(t) of pounds of salt in the tank at time t.
b) what is the concentration c(t) of the salt in the tank at time t? At t=5 min? What is the
concentration of the salt in the tank after a long time (we can this concentration the limiting value),
that is, as t→--? At what time is the concentration of the salt in the tank equal to one-half this limiting
value?

As an example of a sample calculation, find the volume of a rectangular solid: V = Lx W x H V = (25.95 cm)(5.87 cm)(83 cm) V = 13000 cm³ = 1.3 x 10“ cm3 Note that when you do this calculation in your calculator, you will have an answer of 12643.0995. However, the 83 cm limits your answer to 2 significant figures, so you must round the final answer to 2 significant figures. Remember you need to keep the place value of the significant figures! The scientific notation helps clarify that none of the zeros are significant.arrow_forwardQuestion 11 One cube is made of uranium and has side length 57.0 cm and one cube is made of an unknown substance with side length 39.0 cm.
