In the earlier example, we calculated the thickness of a glacier assuming the friction at the base of the glacier is constant. In this exercise, we consider cases where the friction varies along the length of the glacier.

(a) Solve the glacier thickness differential equation, and use the equation

$$T \frac{d T}{d x}=\frac{\tau}{\rho g}$$

for T(x) with $\tau(x)=0.3 x(1000-x)$ N/m$^2$ and initial condition T(0)=0.

(b) Sketch the graph of T for $0 \leq x \leq 1000$ m.

Tank 1 is filled with $V_1$ liters of water containing blue dye at an initial concentration of $c_0 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{L}$.
