a) A salt-water tank has pure water flowing into it at 5 L/min.
The contents of the tank are kept thoroughly mixed, and the
contents flow out at 5 L/min. Initially, the tank contains 1 kg of
salt in 10L of water. How much salt will be in the tank after 20
minutes? Let ?? represent the amount of salt in the tank at time t
and let ?? represent the volume of saltwater in the tank at time
t.
b) Now assume that salt is added into the tank at a rate of 0.1 kg/min with pure water still flowing into it at 5 L/min. The contents of the tank are kept thoroughly mixed, and the contents flow out at 5 L/min. Initially, the tank contains 1 kg of salt in 10L of water. How much salt will be in the tank after 20 minutes?
