Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 2P
The solar radiation for Tucson, Arizona, has been tabulated as
Time, mo | J | F | M | A | M | J | J | A | S | O | N | D |
Radiation,
|
144 | 188 | 245 | 311 | 351 | 359 | 308 | 287 | 260 | 211 | 159 | 131 |
Assuming each month is 30 days long, fit a sinusoid to these data. Use the resulting equation to predict the radiation in mid-August.

6. Modelling. Suppose that we have two tanks (A and B) between which a mixture of brine
flows. Tank A contains 200 liters of water in which 50 kilograms of salt has been dissolved
and Tank B contains 100 liters of pure water. Water containing 1kg of salt per liter is
pumped into Tank A at the rate of 5 liters per minute. Brine mixture is pumped into
Tank A from Tank B at the rate of 3 liters per minute and brine mixture is pumped from
Tank A into Tank B at the rate of 8 liters per minute. Brine is drained from Tank B at a
rate of 5 liters per minute.
(a) Draw and carefully label a picture of the situation, including both tanks and the flow
of brine between them.
