Two tanks, A and B, each have a capacity of 800 litres.
At time t 0 both tanks are full of pure water.
When t 0, water flows in the following ways:
Water with a salt concentration of
grams per litre flows into tank A at a constant rate
Water flows from tank A to tank B at a rate of 16 litres per minute
Water flows from tank B to tank A at a rate of r litres per minute
Water flows out of tank B through a waste pipe
The amount of water in each tank remains at 800 litres.
At time t minutes (t 0) there are x grams of salt in tank A and y grams of salt in tank B.
This system is represented by the coupled differential equations
Find the value of r.
