Textbook Question
Chapter 9.3, Problem 69E
Pollution. A 1,000-gallon holding tank contains 200 gallons of water. Initially, each gallon of water in the tank contains 2 pounds of pollutants. Water containing 3 pounds of pollutants per gallon enters the tank at a rate of 75 gallons per hour, and the uniformly mixed water is released from the tank at a rate of 50 gallons per hour. How many pounds of pollutants are in the tank after 2 hours? At what rate (in pounds per gallon) are the pollutants being released after 2 hours?
