Sample Problem 9

The rate at which a substance cools in air is directly proportional to the

difference between the temperature of the substance and that of air. If

the temperature of air is 30° and the substance cools from 100° to 70°

in 15 minutes, how long will it take to cool 100° to 50°?

Sample Problem 10

In a tank are 100 liters of brine containing 50kg total of dissolved salt.

Pure water is allowed to run into the tank at the rate of 3 liters a

minute. Brine runs out of the tank at the rate of 2 liters a minute. The

instantaneous concentration in the tank is kept uniform by stirring.

How much salt is in the tank at the end of one hour?
