Liquid is flowing into a small tank which has a leak. Initially the tank is empty and t minutes later, the volume of liquid in the tank is V cm3. The liquid is flowing into the tank at a constant rate of 80 cm3 per minute. Because of the leak, liquid is being lost from the tank at a rate which, at any instant, is equal to kV cm3 per minute where k is a positive constant.

Write down a differential equation describing this situation and solve it to show that V=1k80-80e-kt.

Liquid is flowing into a small tank which has a leak. Initially the tank is empty and t minutes later, the volume of liquid in the tank is V cm3. The liquid is flowing into the tank at a constant rate of 80 cm3 per minute. Because of the leak, liquid is being lost from the tank at a rate which, at any instant, is equal to kV cm3 per minute where k is a positive constant and V=1k80-80e-kt.

It is observed that V=500 when t=15, so that k satisfies the equation k=4-4e-15k25.
Use an iterative formula, based on this equation, to find the value of k correct to 2 significant figures. Use an initial value of k=0.1 and show the result of each iteration to 4 significant figures.
