2. The half life of a radium is 70 years. Calculate the percentage remaining after 80 years if the
radium decomposes at rate proportional to the square root of it.
K= -0.008664339
T=70 yrs
K=-0.009902102 (100) = -0.9902102579
Q=0.3714986681
3. A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If
initially there is 50 milligrams of the material pr4esent and after two hours it is observed that
the material has lost 10 percent of its original mass, find the mass of the material after four
hours. (40.5 mg)
4. A mold grows at a rate proportional to its present size. Initially there is 2 oz of this mold, and
two days later there is 3 oz. Find how much mold was present after one day.

5. A bacteria culture is known to grow at a rate proportional to the amount present. After one
hour, 1000 strands of the bacteria are observed in the culture; and after four hours, 3000
strands. Find an expression for the approximate number of strands of the bacteria present in the
culture at any time t.

6. A tank initially holds 100 gal of a brine solution containing 1 lb of salt. At t=0 another brine
solution containing 1 lb of salt per gallon is poured into the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min, while
the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Find the time at which the mixture in
the tank contains 2 lbs of salt.

7. A person places 20000 in a savings account which pays 5 percent interest per annum,
compounded continuously. Find the time required for the account to double in value, presuming
no withdrawals and no additional deposits.

8. Solve the initial value problem
10. A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If
initially there is 50 milligrams of the material present and after two hours it is observed that the
material has lost 10 percent of its original mass, find the time at which the material has decayed
to one half of its initial mass.

12. Evaluate
13. The half life of a radium is 70 years. Calculate the percentage remaining after 80 years if the
radium decomposes at rate proportional to the amount present.
15. If the body in air at 0 degree will cool from 200 C to 100 C in 40 minutes, solve for the time in
(minutes) it will take the body to cool down from 100 C to 50 C.
18. Find the differential equations of the family of the lines passing through the origin
xdy−ydx=0→ this is the differential equation of all straight lines passing through origin.
19. A tank contains 400 liters of brine holding 100 kg of salt in solution. Water containing 0.125kg of
salt per liter flows into the tank at the rate of 12 liters per minute and the mixture, kept uniform
by stirring , flows out at the same rate. Determine the amount of salt after 90 minutes.
ANS. 53.36 kg. Show the complete solution that satisfies the final answer.
