A tank initially contains 17 pounds of salt dissolved in 450 gallons of water. Starting at to = 0, water that contains 2/5 pounds of salt per gallon is poured into the tank at a rate of 10 gallons per minute and the mixture is drained from the tank at the exact same rate. Assume the tank is uniformly mixed at all times. Use this information to answer the following questions. a) Find a differential equation for the quantity of salt in the tank at time t > 0 b) Solve the differential equation from part (a) to find Q (t)

At t=0, a 600 liter tank initially contains 50 grams of salt dissolved in 300 liters of water. Then, water that contains 2 grams of salt per liter is poured into the tank at a rate of 5 liters per minute. The solution in the tank is constantly stirred so the salt concentration is uniform at any given time t. Water leaves the tank at a rate of 2 liters per minute. Determine when the tank will overflow and create a differential equation to determine how much salt will be in the tank after 1 hour.
