A large tank holds 300 gallons of water, and 50 pounds of salt is added to it to create a brine. A concentration of brine that is 2 pounds per gallon is pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 gallons per minute. The solution is then mixed and pumped out of the tank at a rate of 3 gallons per minute to maintain the total 300 gallons of water.
Find an equation for A, the number of pounds of salt in the container at any time
a. Find the concentration rate in and rate out of salt
Rin=2lbgal**3galmin=,Rout=A300lbgal**3galmin=
b. The rate of change in salt per minute (dAdt) is equal to Rin-Rout. Set up the first order differential equation and put it in standard form
c. Solve the differential equation
d. Apply the initial condition, A(0)=50
e. How many pounds of salt will be in the tank after 60 minutes? 120 minutes?
f. Using limits, find the maximum number of pounds of salt in the tank.
A large tank holds 3 0 0 gallons of water, and 5
