Guidelines for submitting your work:

1. Make sure to present your work as part of a group.
2. Assign a leader to the group to be responsible for the submission.
3. You only need to submit one file for the group. The submission is done through EduLearn.
4. Write the names of all students in the group on the cover page.
5. Highlight the role of each student in the group.

Question 1: [7 Marks]
The circuit shown in the figure contains an electromotive force 𝐸 which
is supplied by a battery, a resistor 𝑅, an inducer 𝐿 and a capacitor 𝐶, in
series. If the charge on the capacitor at time 𝑡 is 𝑄 = 𝑄(𝑡), then the
𝑑𝑄
current 𝐼 = 𝑑𝑡 .
1. Using Kirchoff’s voltage law, write a second order differential
equation that describes the change of the charge with respect to
time.
2. Find the charge and current at time 𝑡 in the circuit if 𝑅 =
40 Ω, 𝐿 = 1 𝐻, 𝐶 = 6 × 10−4 𝐹, 𝐸(𝑡) = 100 cos(10𝑡), and the
initial charge and current are both 0.

Question 2: [8 Marks]
Consider a tank that contains 1000 L of pure water and is connected to supply
and discharge lines as shown in the figure. Initially, both the supply and
discharge lines are opened. Brine (water-salt solution) containing 0.1 kg
of salt per litre enters the tank at a rate of 50 L/min. Brine leaves the tank
at a rate of 50 L/min after it is thoroughly mixed with the water in the
tank. Assume that the dissolved salt does not change the volume of the
water. The salt content in the tank increases with time even if the water
level remains constant.
1. Write a differential equation that explains the relation for the amount of
salt in the tank at any time 𝑡.
2. Find the actual solution for the IVP.
3. Using any graphing tool, graph the solution of the IVP.
4. Determine the maximum amount of salt the tank will eventually contain.

Notes about graphing:

1)You can use Matlab, Maxima, Maple, symbolab graphing calculator.
2)Label the axes and provide a caption to each graph.
3)Provide legends when needed.
