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 Ib of salt.
