- Homework Statement
- I have posted a picture of the HW problem below.
- Relevant Equations
- potentially could use:
Accumulation=Input-Output+Generation-Consumption
So I am a bit confused on how to get started. So far my thought process is we have water flowing in and water evaporating from the pool. The part that I think we are interested in is the leakage. The leakage has the rate it is flowing out per unit time. I will call it change in volume, or dV, per unit time, or dt.
My initial thought is:
dV/dt=QL from above equation and integrate both sides, but I don't have the variable "t" on the right hand side of the equation. If someone could walk me through a logical way of turning this word problem into a derivative that would be great.
Something else I would like to clarify: Are we trying to turn this into a differential equation? The course I am in uses DE's and I honestly don't know.
Thanks so much!
