mixing problems
A tank contains 1920 L of pure water. A solution that contains .07 kg of sugar per liter enters tank at the rate 7 L/min. The solution is mixed and drains from the tank at the same rate. With S representing the amount of sugar (in kg) at time t (in minutes) write a differential equation which models this situation.
S'(t)=r1c1-r2c2 r1=r2=7 c1=.07kg c2=S(t)/V(t)=S/1920 so wouldnt [tex]S'(t)=.049- \frac{7S}{1920}[/tex] I'm not sure why this is wrong |

Would you believe arithmetic? 0.07*7= 0.49, not 0.049!!
