Arrange the following statements in correct sequence: 1. These vapours condense to form tiny droplets of water. 2. The water droplets come together to form large water droplets. 3. The heat of the sun causes evaporation of water from the surface of the earth, oceans, lakes, rivers and other water bodies. 4. The large water droplets become heavy and the air cannot hold them, therefore, they fall as rains. 5. Water vapour is also continuously added to the atmosphere through transpiration from the surface of the leaves of trees. 6. Warm air carrying clouds rises up. 7. Higher up in the atmosphere, the air is cool. 8. These droplets floating in the air along with the dust particles form clouds.

Consider a tank which initially holds V_(0) liter of brine that contains a lb of salt. Another brine solution, containing b lb of salt per liter is poured into the tank at the rate of eL//"min" . The problem is to find the amount of salt in the tank at any time t. Let Q denote the amount of salt in the tank at any time. The time rate of change of Q, (dQ)/(dt) , equals the rate at which salt enters the tank at the rate at which salt leaves the tank. Salt enters the tank at the rate of be lb/min. To determine the rate at which salt leaves the tank, we first calculate the volume of brine in the tank at any time t, which is the initial volume V_(0) plus the volume of brine added et minus the volume of brine removed ft. Thus, the volume of brine at any time is V_(0)+et-ft The concentration of salt in the tank at any time is Q//(V_(0)+et-ft) , from which it follows that salt leaves the tank at the rate of f(Q/(V_(0)+et-ft)) lb/min. Thus, (dQ)/(dt)=be-f(Q/(V_(0)+et-ft))Q=be A tank initially holds 100 L of a brine solution containing 20 lb of salt. At t=0, fresh water is poured into the tank at the rate of 5 L/min, while the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Then the amount of salt in the tank after 20 min.
