Question: Suppose a brine containing 0 . 2 k g o f salt per liter runs into a tank initially filled with 5 0 0 L

Suppose a brine containing 0.2kgof salt per liter runs into a tank initially filled with 500Lof water containing 2kgof salt. The brine enters the tank at a rate of
5Lmin. The mixture, kept uniform by stirring, is flowing out at the rate of5Lmin. Complete parts (a) and (b).
(a) Find the concentration, in kilograms per liter, of salt in the tank after 5 min .[Hint: Let A denote the number of kilograms of salt in the tank at minutes after the process begins and use the fact that
rate of increase inA= rate of input - rate of exit.]
The concentration of salt in the tank after 5 min will be0.0136kgL.
(Roundto four decimal places as needed.)
(b) After 5 min , a leak develops in the tank and an additional liter per minute of mixture flows out of the tank. What will be the concentration, in kilograms
per liter, of salt in the tank 20 min after the leak develops?
The concentration of salt in the tank 20 min after the leak develops will bekgL.
(Roundto four decimal places as needed.)
Suppose a brine containing 0 . 2 k g o f salt per
