For each of the following scenarios, provide a reasonable IVP model. Let \(t\) represent time, let \(z\) represent the value given in the scenario, and use uppercase letters for positive constants. Then label each term and initial value of each IVP to describe what it represents from the scenario.
- A solution of salt water is pumped into a tank of initially fresh water, while mixed water is pumped out at the same rate. Let z measure the mass of salt in the tank at a given time.
- A bowl of hot soup sits in a colder room. Assume the room's temperature is kept constant, and let z measure the temperature of the soup over time.
- A circuit includes a battery providing constant voltage, a resistor, and an inductor. Assume some initial current is flowing, and let z measure the current throughout this circuit at a given time.
- A mass is attached to a spring. The mass is compressed inward from the spring's natural position, then released from rest. Assume no damping or friction. Let z measure the outward displacement of the mass from its natural position on the spring.
Then, show that your model is equivalent to one of the following IVP models by relabeling constants and using algebra as needed. (It's possible that more than one IVP may be used for a scenario. If so, choose any of them.)
