A fish tank initially contains 10 liters of pure water. Brine of constant, but unknown, concentration of salt is flowing in at 4 liters per minute. The solution is mixed well and drained at 4 liters per minute.

a. Let x be the amount of salt, in grams, in the fish tank after t minutes have elapsed. Find a formula for the rate of change in the amount of salt, dx/dt, in terms of the amount of salt in the solution x and the unknown concentration of incoming brine c.

dx/dt =

b. Find a formula for the amount of salt, in grams, after t minutes have elapsed. Your answer should be in terms of c and t.

x(t) =

c. In 25 minutes there are 25 grams of salt in the fish tank. What is the concentration of salt in the incoming brine?

a) dx/dt = 4*c - (4*x / 10) = 4*c - 0.4*x

b) x = 10*c - 10*c*e^(-0.4*t)

c)  c = 2.500 g / Liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Initial volume of pure water V_o = 10 Liters

- Inflow of brine Q_in = 4 Liters / min

- Outflow of mixture Q_out = 4 liters /min

Find:

a) Find a formula for the rate of change in the amount of salt, dx/dt, in terms of the amount of salt in the solution x and the unknown concentration of incoming brine c.

b) Find a formula for the amount of salt, in grams, after t minutes have elapsed. Your answer should be in terms of c and t.

c) In 25 minutes there are 25 grams of salt in the fish tank. What is the concentration of salt in the incoming brine?

Solution:

- We will define a constant (c) as concentration of salt as amount of salt in grams per liter.

- dx / dt is the amount of salt in grams per unit time t.

- We will construct a net flow balance:

                                dx / dt = Q_in*c - (amount of salt / V_o) *Q_out

- Denoting the amount of salt in grams to be x. then we have:

                                dx/dt = 4*c - (4*x / 10) = 4*c - 0.4*x

- Once we have formulated the ODE, we will solve it to get the amount of salt x in grams at any time t, as follows:

                               dx/dt = 4*c -0.4*x

- Separate variables:

                             dx / (4*c -0.4*x) = dt

- Integrate both sides:

                             - (10 / 4)*Ln | 4*c -0.4*x | = t + K

- Evaluate constant K, when t = 0, x = 0.

                               - (10 / 4)*Ln|4c| = K

- Input constant K back in solution:

                                  Ln |4*c -0.4*x| = -0.4*t + Ln|4c|

                                  4*c -0.4*x = 4c*e^(-0.4*t)

                                   x = 10*c - 10*c*e^(-0.4*t)

- Evaluate using the derived expression t = 25 mins and x = 25, compute c?

                                   x = 10*c - 10*c*e^(-0.4*t)

                                   25/10 = c ( 1 - e^(-0.4*25) )

                                    c = 2.5 / ( 1 - e^(-0.4*25) )

                                    c = 2.500 g / Liters

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
