1. A brine solution of salt flows at a constant
rate of 6 L/min into a large tank initially held
50 L of brine solution in which was dissolved
0.5 kg of salt. The solution inside the tank is
kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at
the rate of 5 L/min. If the concentration of
salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.05
kg/L, determine the mass of salt in the tank
after t min.
2. A snowball melts in such a concentration of
the rate of change in its volume is
proportional to its surface area. If the
snowball was initially 4 in. in diameter and
after 30 min its diameter is 3 in., when will its
diameter be 2 in.? Mathematically speaking,
when will the snowball disappear?
3. A cup of hot coffee initially at 95ºC cools to
80ºC in 5 min while sitting in a room of
temperature 21ºC. Using just Newton’s law
of cooling, determine when the temperature
of the coffee will be a nice 50ºC.
4. An object of mass 5 kg is released from rest
1000 m above the ground and allowed to fall
under the influence of gravity. Assuming the
force due to air resistance is proportional to
the velocity of the object with proportionality
constant 𝑏 = 50 𝑁 ⋅ 𝑠𝑒𝑐/𝑚, determine the
equation of motion of the object. When will
the object strike the ground?
5. An inverted right circular cone of height 1
meter and base radius of 0.5 meters that is
filled with water that is draining out of the
bottom out of a hole (circular orifice) of
diameter 2cm. What is the level of water in
the tank after two minutes?
