In Problems 3 – 18, use the elimination method to find a general solution for the given linear system, where differentiation is with respect to t.
Feedback System with Pooling Delay. Many physical and biological systems involve time delays. A pure time delay has its output the same as its input but shifted in time. A more common type of delay is pooling delay. An example of such a feedback system is shown in Figure 5.3 on page 251. Here the level of fluid in tank B determines the rate at which fluid enters tank A. Suppose this rate is given by where and V are positive constants and is the volume of fluid in tank B at time t.

b. Find a general solution for the system in part (a) when and .
c. Using the general solution obtained in part (b), what can be said about the volume of fluid in each of the tanks as ?
In Problems 19–24, convert the given second-order equation into a first-order system by setting v=y’. Then find all the critical points in the yv-plane. Finally, sketch (by hand or software) the direction fields, and describe the stability of the critical points (i.e., compare with Figure 5.12).
Two large tanks, each holding 100 L of liquid, are interconnected by pipes, with the liquid flowing from tank A into tank B at a rate of 3 L/min and from B into A at a rate of 1 L/min (see Figure 5.2). The liquid inside each tank is kept well stirred. A brine solution with a concentration of 0.2 kg/L of salt flows into tank A at a rate of 6 L/min. The (diluted) solution flows out of the system from tank A at 4 L/min and from tank B at 2 L/min. If, initially, tank A contains pure water and tank B contains 20 kg of salt, determine the mass of salt in each tank at a time .

Fluid Ejection.In the design of a sewage treatment plant, the following equation arises: where H is the level of the fluid in an ejection chamber, and t is the time in seconds. Use the vectorized Runge–Kutta algorithm with h = 0.5 to approximate over theinterval [0, 5].
