Your swimming pool containing 84,000 gal of water has been contaminated by 6 kg of a nontoxic dye that leaves a swimmer's skin an unattractive green. The pool's filtering system can take water from the pool, remove the dye, and return the water to the pool at a flow rate of 250 gal/min.
(a) What is the initial value problem for the filtering process? Let q be the amount of dye in grams in the pool at any time t. dq dt = − 250q/84000 Correct: Your answer is correct. g/min, q(0) = Correct: Your answer is correct. grams
(b) Solve the problem in part (a).
(d) Find the time T at which the concentration of the dye first reaches the value of 0.03 g/gal. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) T = hr
(e) Find the flow rate r that is sufficient to achieve the concentration 0.03 g/gal within 4 h. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) r = gal/min
