Question
(Lake Erie) Lake Erie has a water volume of about 450 km3 and a flow rate (in and out) of about 175 km3 per year. If at some instant the lake has pollution c~nc~ntration p = 0.04%, how long, approximately. wIll It take to decrease it to pl2. assuming that the inflow is much cleaner, say, it has pollution concentration p/4. and the mixture is unifonn (anassumption that is only very imperfectly true)? First,guess.
Solution
The first step in solving 1 problem number 27 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (Lake Erie) Lake Erie has a water volume of about 450 km3 and a flow rate (in and out) of about 175 km3 per year. If at some instant the lake has pollution c~nc~ntration p = 0.04%, how long, approximately. wIll It take to decrease it to pl2. assuming that the inflow is much cleaner, say, it has pollution concentration p/4. and the mixture is unifonn (anassumption that is only very imperfectly true)? First,guess.
From the textbook chapter First-Order ODEs you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
