A very large tank initially contains 100L of pure water. Starting at time t = 0 a solution with a salt concentration of 0.8kg/L is added at a rate of 5L/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed and is drained from the tank at a rate of 3L/min. 1. Let y(t) be the amount of salt (in kilograms) in the tank after t minutes. What differential equation does y satisfy?
2. How much salt is in the tank after 40 minutes?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A very large tank initially contains 100 L of pure water.

Starting at time t = 0 a solution with a salt concentration of 0.8kg/L is added at a rate of 5L/min.

. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed and is drained from the tank at a rate of 3L/min.

As 5L/min is entering and 3L/min is drained out, there is a 2L increase per minute. Therefore, the amount of water at any given time t = (100 +2t) L

t = (50 + t ) L

Since it is given that we should  consider y(t) to be the  amount of salt (in kilograms) in the tank after t minutes.

Then , the differential equation that  y satisfies can be computed as follows:

How much salt is in the tank after 40 minutes?

So,

suppose :

Then ,

Taking the integral on both sides; we have:

6mm^3 or .6cm^3

6     6   6

factor trees are nice.
