2. A tank with a capacity of 650 gal. originally contains 200 gal of water with 100 lb. of salt in
solution. Water containing 1 lb. of salt per gallon is entering at a rate of 4 gal/min, and the
mixture is allowed to flow out of the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min.
a. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time prior to the instant when the tank
begins to overflow (650 gallons).
b. Find the concentration (in pounds per gallon) of salt in the tank when the tank hits
400 gallons.

- Suppose that you have the differential equation:
dy
= (y - 2) (y+3)
dx
a. What are the equilibrium solutions for the differential equation?
b. Where is the differential equation increasing or decreasing? Show how you know.
Showing them on the drawing is not enough.
c. Where are the changes in concavity for the differential equation? Show how you
know. Showing them on the drawing is not enough.
d. Consider the slope field for the differential equation. Draw solution curves given the
following initial conditions:
i. y(0) = -5
ii. y(0) = -1
iii. y(0) = 2
5. Suppose that a mass of 5 stretches a spring 10. The mass is acted on by an external force
of F(t)=10 sin () and moves in a medium that gives a damping coefficient of ½. If the mass
is set in motion with an initial velocity of 3 and is stretched initially to a length of 5. (I
purposefully removed the units- don't worry about them. Assume no conversions are
needed.)
a) Find the equation for the displacement of the spring mass at time t.
b) Write the equation for the displacement of the spring mass in phase-mode form.
c) Characterize the damping of the spring mass system as overdamped, underdamped or
critically damped. Explain how you know.
