You have a 5 gallon bucket filled with 2.5 gallons of water. In each gallon of water there are 3 grams of salt dissolved. You drain the bucket at a rate of 1/10th of a gallon per second. at the same time you fill the bucket with water that has 10 grams of salt dissolved in it per gallon at a rate of 1/5 gallons per second. When the bucket starts to overfill what is the concentration of salt inside the bucket?

the problem is the concentration of the solution of salt leaving the bucket is constantly changing...

5 gallon bucket
already filled 1/2 of the way

you can forget about the 3 grams of salt dissolved altogether because...

drain 1/10 per second
fill 2/10 per second

it will take 25 seconds in order to fill it to 5 gallons because...
25 seconds of drain = -2.5 gallons
25 seconds of fill = +5 gallons

2.5 - 2.5 + 5 = 5

so basically you're just filling an empty bucket with 5 gallons of water that has a concentration of 10g of salt per gallon and it will take 25 seconds to fill at a rate of 2/10 gallons per second

so.... 5 gallons of water with 10g of salt per gallon = 5 x 10 = 50g of salt

tada

Arvoria... *sigh*.

you cant forget the 3 grams of salt per gallon... when you pour the 10g of salt per gallon per second it mixes with the water already there, so when it drains the concentration of the water being drained is constantly changing. It doesn't drain out constantly at 3g per gallon

5 gallon bucket.
2.5 gallons of water.
Each gallon being decreased is 3 grams of salt.

You're pouring 10 grams of salt per gallon into it at 1/5 gallons per second.

Every second:
- 1/10 of original water
+ 1/5 of new water

After 10 seconds you'll lose 1 gallon of the original water content, and it will be replaced by 2 gallons of the new water content. The concentration quota will be 1.5 gallons of 3 grams salt dissolved + 2 gallons 10 grams salt dissolved. We can take the average to determine grams of salt dissolved later.


After 20 seconds, you'll lose 1 more gallon of original water, and 1 gallon of new water.
0.5 gallons 3 grams salt dissolved
4 gallons 10 salt dissolved.


Drain for 5 more seconds.

0 gallons 3 grams salt dissolved.
5 gallons 10 salt dissolved.


It'll end up overfilling when the time passes 25 seconds with a salt concentration of 10 grams per gallon.

you'll lose 1 more gallon of original water, and gain 2 gallons of new water***
