A tank contains 20 kg of salt dissolved in 5000

L of water. Brine that contains 0.03 kg of


salt per Liter enters the tank at a rate of 25
L/min. The solution is kept thouroghly mixed
and drains from the tank at the same rate of
25 L/min. How much salt remains in the tank
after half an hour.

1
y(t)= amount of salt in the tank at time t

y(0) = 20

dy y
= 25 · 0.03 − · 25
dt 5000

Find y(t) Calculate y(30)

dy y
= 0.75 −
dt 200
Z Z
dy
y = dt
0.75 − 200

Z
dy
200 =t+C
150 − y

−200 ln |150 − y| = t + C

−200 ln |150 − 20| = C C = −200 ln 130

−t
ln |150 − y| = + ln 130
200
−t +ln 130
|150 − y| = e 200

150 − y > 0 why ?


−t
y = 150 − 130e 200

y(30) ≈ 38.1 kg
