A 100-L tank was initially empty, but is to be filled with salt-and-water solution. The way the solution is being poured into the tank is through a device the controls the rate at which it is being poured. The controller ensures the solution is being poured at time t (minutes) with the expression (1 + cos(2t)) in liters per minute. It follows that the amount of salt for every liter of the solution being poured at time t (minutes) is described by the expression 0.2(1 + cos(2t)) in kilograms. This implies the rate the salt-and-water solution being poured into the tank alternately gets faster and slower. If the tank is just meant to contain the solution, determine the concentration of salt, in kilograms, if the controller was only opened for half an hour. Express your answer accurate to four decimal places. No need to indicate the unit of measurement. Do not put space.
