Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 70 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Pure water is pumped into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at the same rate. Determine a differential equation for the amount of salt A(t) in the tank at time t > 0. What is A(0)? (Use A for A(t).)
dA dt =
A(0) =

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 70 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Pure water is pumped into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at the same rate.

Let Q(t) be the quantity of salt at time t.

Q(0) = 70 pounds

Inflow of water = outflow = 4 gal/min

So resulting volume of tank at time t = 400 gallons

Rate of change of salt = inflow - outflow

= 0 -

i.e.

This is a variable separable equation

Use when t =0 Q = 70

A =70

So A(t) = Q(t) = and

A(0) = Q(0) = 70 lbs.
