A tank initially holds 100 gal of a brine solution containing 1 Ib of salt. At t = 0 another brine solution containing 1 Ib of salt per gallon is poured into the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min, while the well- stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Find the time at which the mixture in the tank contains 4.1 lb of salt. Express your answer in minutes and round-off to three (3) decimal places.

Question

Solve using solutions to first order differential equation.

A tank initially holds 100 gal of a brine solution containing 1 Ib of
salt. At t = 0 another brine solution containing 1 Ib of salt per gallon
is poured into the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min, while the well-
stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Find the time at
which the mixture in the tank contains 4.1 lb of salt. Express your
answer in minutes and round-off to three (3) decimal places.
