A Large Mixing Tank Initially Contains 100 Gallons of Water A(t)A ( t )

Question 5

Multiple Choice

A large mixing tank initially contains 100 gallons of water in which 30 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Another brine solution is pumped into the tank at the rate of 4 gallons per minute, and the resulting mixture is pumped out at the same rate. The concentration of the incoming brine solution is 2 pounds of salt per gallon. If A(t) A ( t ) represents the amount of salt in the tank at time t, the correct differential equation for A is


A) dAdt=8.02A\frac { d A } { d t } = 8 - .02 A
B) dAdt=8.04A\frac { d A } { d t } = 8 - .04 A
C) dAdt=4.04A\frac { d A } { d t } = 4 - .04 A
D) dAdt=2.04A\frac { d A } { d t } = 2 - .04 A
E) dAdt=4.08A\frac { d A } { d t } = 4 - .08 A
