2) A pond holding 1,230,000 gallons has been contaminated with
150,000 pounds of salt. Pure water is pumped into the pond at a
rate of 120 thousand gallons per hour and contaminated water is
pumped from the pond at the same rate. The differential equation
that models this situation is ?? / ?? = − 120? / 1230 where ?(0) =
150 where S is thousands of pounds of salt and t is hours.
a) Solve the differential equation.
b) Fresh water fish can be introduced to the pond when the amount
of salt in the pond is less than 500 pounds. Will you be able to
introduce the fish after 5 hours? (Explain)
c) After how many hours will you be able to introduce fish to the
pond?
