A tank contains 100 gal of water. In error, 300lbs of salt are poured into the tank instead of 200 lbs. to correct this condition, a stopper is removed from the bottom of the tank allowing 3gal of brine to flow out per minute. At the same time, 3 gallons of fresh water per minute are pumped into the tank. If the mixture is kept uniform by constant stirring, how long it will take for the brine to contain the desired amount of salt?

The density of two liquids (A and B) is given as 180 kg/m3 and 70 kg/m3, respectively. The two liquids are mixed in a certain proportion and the density of the resulting liquid is 110 kg/m3. How much of liquid B (in grams) does 2 kg of the mixture contain? Assume the volume of the two liquids is additive when mixed. I have tried multiple ways to get to the ansser but I still get stuck in the very last part
A container consists of two vertical cylindrical columns of different diameter connected by a narrow horizontal section, as shown in the figure. The open faces of the two columns are closed by very light plates that can move up and down without friction. The tube diameter at A is 35.0 cm and at B it is 10.2 cm. This container is filled with oil of density 0.820 g/cm3. If a 125-kg object is placed on the larger plate at A, how much mass should be placed on the smaller plate at B to balance it?
