A 2500-gallon tank initially contains 500 gallons of water with 6 pounds of salt dissolved in it. Water enters the tank at a rate of 8 gal/hr and the water entering the tank has a salt concentration of (1/5)(1 + cos t) lb/gal. If a well-mixed solution leaves the tank at a rate of 5 gph, determine the following: a) the time when the tank overflows, b) the amount of salt as a function of t, and c) the amount of salt in the tank when it overflows
