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)

A(0) = 70  (i.e the pounds of salt dissolved into the tank)

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.

The rate at which pure water is pumped into the tank is 4 gal/min

After stirring; the pure water is then pumped out at the same rate.

The objective is to determine the differential equation  for the amount of salt A(t) in the tank at time t > 0. What is A(0)

Taking the differential of:

    ---- (1)

where ;

= 0

replacing them into (1) ; we have:

A(0) = 70 (i.e the pounds of salt dissolved into the tank)
