Water with a small salt content (5kg per 1000 liters) is flowing into a very salty lake at the rate of 4 x 105 li/hr. The salty water is flowing out at the rate of 105 li/hr. If at some time (t=0) the volume of the lake is 109 liters, and its salt content is 107 kg, find the salt content at time, t. Assume that the salt is mixed uniformly with the water in the lake at all times.
