The orthogonal trajectory of (where being parameter) is

The hemispherical tank of radius is initially full of water and has an outlet of cross-sectional area at the bottom. The outlet is opened at some instant. The flow through the outlet is according to the law where and are, respectively, velocity of the flow through the outlet and the height of water level above the outlet at time and is the acceleration due to gravity. Find the time it takes to empty the tank.

Find the time required for a cylindrical tank of radius and height to empty through a round hole of area at the bottom. The flow through a hole is according to the law , where and are respectively the velocity of flow through the hole and the height of the water level above the hole at time and is the acceleration due to gravity.

A tank initially contains gallons of fresh water. Brine contains pounds per gallon of salt, flows into the tank at the rate of gallons per minute and the mixture kept uniform by stirring runs out at the same rate. If it will take care for the quantity of salt in the tank to increase from to pounds (in seconds) is , then find

If the population grows at the rate of per year, then the time taken for the population to become double is (Given )

The bacteria increases at the rate proportional to the number of bacteria present. If the original number doubles in hours, then the number of bacteria in hours will be

The rate of decay of certain substance is directly proportional to the amount present at that instant. Initially, there are of certain substance and hours later it is found that are left, then the amount left after one more hour is

For next two question please follow the same
Consider a tank which initially holds liter of brine that contains lb of salt. Another brine solution, containing lb of salt per liter is poured into the tank at the rate of while, simultaneously, the well-stirred solution leaves the tank at the rate of . The problem is to find the amount of salt in the tank at any time .
Let denote the amount of salt in the tank at any time. The time rate of change of , , equals the rate at which salt enters the tank at the rate of . To determine the rate at which salt leaves the tank, we first calculate the volume of brine in the tank at any time , which is the initial volume plus the volume of brine added minus the volume of brine removed . Thus, the volume of brine at any time is
The concentration of salt in the tank at any time is from which it follows that salt leaves the tank at the rate of . Thus,
or
