6. (Harvesting renewable resources. Fishing) Suppose that the population
 of a certain

kind of fish is given by the logistic equation (8), and fish are caught at a rate

proportional to
. Solve this so-called Schaefer model. Find the equilibrium solutions

and
   when !. The expression"  
 is called the equilibrium harvest or
sustainable yields corresponding to H. Why?

7. (Lake Erie) Lake Erie has a water volume of about#$ km3 and a flow rate (in and out)
of about%$ km3 per year. If at some instant the lake has pollution concentration& 
'#(, how long, approximately, will it take to decrease it to&)*, assuming that the
inflow is much cleaner, say, it has pollution concentration&)#, and the mixture is
uniform.
