A 1000 L tank contains 500 L of water with a salt concentration of 10 g/L. Water with a salt concentration of 60 g/L flows into the tank at a rate of 80 L/min. The fluid mixes instantaneously and is pumped out at a specified rate Rout. Let y(t) denote the quantity of salt in the tank at time t. Find the salt concentration when the tank overflows assuming that Rout = 40 L/min.
