Da/dt + (4/ (200-t) ) A 18 Question 2 (10 Points)

The document describes a mixing tank that initially holds 400 gallons of water with 65 pounds of salt dissolved. A brine solution pumping in at 6 gal/min with 3 lb salt/gal concentration, and the mixed solution is pumped out at 8 gal/min. The task is to determine a differential equation for the amount of salt in the tank over time.

Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 65 pounds of

salt have been dissolved. Another brine solution is pumped into the tank at a rate of 6
gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is pumped out at a faster rate of 8 gal/min. If
the concentration of the solution entering is 3 lb/gal, determine a differential equation for the
amount of salt in the tank at time

Solution:

V(t)= 400 gallons+(6 gal/min - 8 gal/min) (t min)

= (400 - 2t) gallons

Rate out = [A(t)/V(t)] * outflow rate

= [A/(400-2t)] * 8

= 8A/(400-2t) lb/min

Rate in = 6 gal/min * 3 lb/gallon = 18 lb/min

dA/dt = Rate in - Rate out

= 18 - [8A/(400-2t)]

dA/dt + [4/(200-t)]A = 18

Question 2 (10 points)

Determine a differential equation for the velocity of a falling body of mass if air
resistance is proportional to the square root of the cube of the instantaneous velocity.

Solution:

For a falling body:

Weight - Air resistance = mass * acceleration

mg - F = ma

F is directly proportional to v3/2

F = Kv3/2

mg - Kv3/2 = m * dv/dt

dv/dt + (K/m) v3/2 = g


Question 3 (10 points)

Consider a population where the number of births and deaths are proportional to the size of
the population with proportionality constants and respectively. Suppose also that people
immigrate to the country at a constant rate of . If people emigrate from the country at a rate
proportional to the population with proportionality constant , determine a differential
equation which models as a function of time .

Solution:

No. of births = bP

No. of deaths = dP

immigration rate = r

emigration rate = wP

dP/dt = bP - dP + r - wP

Question 4 (10 points)

Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 500 gallons of water in which 75 pounds of
salt have been dissolved. Pure water is pumped into the tank at a rate of 6 gal/min, and when
the solution is well stirred, it is pumped out at the same rate. Determine a differential
equation for the amount of salt in the tank at time What is

V(t) = 500 + ( 6 gal/min - 6 gal/min)(t min)

= 500

Rate out = [A(t)/V(t)]*outflow rate

= [A(t)/V(t)]*outflow rate

= [A(t)/500]*6

= 3A(t)/250
Rate in = 6 gal/min * 0 = 0

dA/dt = 0 - 3A(t)/250

A(t) = Ke-3t/250

When t = 0; A(0) = K = 75

A(t) = 75e-3t/250

Question 5 (10 points)

is a two-parameter family of solutions of the second-order differential


equation Find a solution of the second-order IVP
.

For the differential equation:

y'' + 2y' - 8y = 0

Solution is: y(x) = C1 e-4x + C2 e2x

y(0) = C1 + C2 = 0 ----(1)

y'(x) = -4C1 e-4x + 2C2 e2x

y'(0) = -4C1 + 2C2 =12 ----(2)

Eq(1) * 4 4C1 + 4C2 = 0

Eq(1) -4C1 + 2C2 = 12

______________________________

Adding 6C2 = 12

C2 = 12/6 = 2

C1 = -2

y(x) = 2e2x -2e-4x
