TOPIC TO BE SOLVED 22. Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the amount present.

1. Newtons Law of heating and cooling If the half of the original amount disappears after 1000 years, what is
2. Flow Problems the percentage lost in 100 years?
3. Continuous Compounding
4. Decay Problem Answer:

19.Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the amount at any The percentage lost
instant. In 100 years, 100 mg of radium decomposes to 96 mg. How of Radium in 100 years
many mg will be left after 100 years? is 6.70%

Problem Answer:

After 100 years, 92.16 mg of Radium will be left.

Solution:

25. According to
Newton’s law of cooling, the rate at which a substance cools in air is
directly proportional to the difference between the temperatures of the
substance and that of air. If the temperature of the air is 30° and the
substance cools from 100° to 70° in 15 minutes, how long will it take to
cool 100° to 50°?

Solution:
21.Problem Statement:

It will take 33. 59 min to cool from 100° to 50°


The population of a country doubles in 50 years. How many years will it
be five times as much? Assume that the rate of increase is proportional
to the number inhabitants.

Problem Answer:

The population will be five times as much in 116 years

Solution:

26. An object falls from rest in a medium offering a resistance. The


velocity of the object before the object reaches the ground is given by
the differential equation dV/dt + V/10 = 32, ft/sec. What is the velocity
of the object one second after it falls?

Problem Answer:

1
The velocity of the object one second after it falls is 30.45 ft/sec

The amount of salt in the tank at the end of 30 minutes is 171.24


lbs

27 In a tank are 100 liters of brine containing 50 kg. 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?

Solution:
Problem Answer:

There are 19.53 kg of salt in the tank at the end of one hour

28. A tank initially holds 100 gallons of salt solution in which


50 lbs of salt has been dissolved. A pipe fills the tank with
brine at the rate of 3 gpm, containing 2 lbs of dissolved salt per
gallon. Assuming that the mixture is kept uniform by stirring, a
drain pipe draws out of the tank the mixture at 2 gpm. Find the 29. If the nominal interest rate is 3%, how much is P5,000 worth
amount of salt in the tank at the end of 30 minutes. in 10 years in a continuous compounded account?

2
In 10 years, P5,000 will be worth P6,750

3
30. A nominal interest of 3% compounded continuously is given
on the account. What is accumulated amount of P10,000 after
10 years.

The accumulated amount of P10,000 after 10 years is


P13,498.60
