Problem

A spherical tank, of diameter 35 cm, is leaking air through a 5-mm-diameter hole in its side. The air exits the hole at 360 m/s and a density of 2.5 kg/m3^3. Assuming uniform mixing, (a)(a) find a formula for the rate of change of average density in the tank and (b)(b) calculate a numerical value for (dρ/dt)(d\rho/dt) in the tank for the given data.
