Same question, both times
A tank fills at 3 L/min for 4 minutes, then drains at 500 mL/s for 10 seconds. Net litres?
No contextPASS

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the net amount of liquid in the tank after the filling and draining processes. 1. **Filling the tank:** - The tank fills at a rate of 3 L/min for 4 minutes. - Total volume filled = 3 L/min * 4 min = 12 L 2. **Draining the tank:** - The tank drains at a rate of 500 mL/s for 10 seconds. - First, convert 500 mL/s to L/s: 500 mL/s = 0.5 L/s - Total volume drained = 0.5 L/s * 10 s = 5 L 3. **Net volume in the tank:** - Net volume = Volume filled - Volume drained - Net volume = 12 L - 5 L = 7 L Answer: 7 L

General contextPASS

To determine the net amount of liquid in the tank after the filling and draining processes, we'll calculate each process separately and then find the difference. 1. **Filling the tank:** - Rate: 3 L/min - Time: 4 minutes - Amount filled = Rate × Time = 3 L/min × 4 min = 12 L 2. **Draining the tank:** - Rate: 500 mL/s - Time: 10 seconds - First, convert the rate to litres per second: 500 mL/s = 0.5 L/s - Amount drained = Rate × Time = 0.5 L/s × 10 s = 5 L 3. **Net amount of liquid:** - Net litres = Amount filled - Amount drained = 12 L - 5 L = 7 L Answer: 7 L

12 L in, 5 L out, net 7 L. The mixed units are the trap.

Residual — what survives

Unchanged by context: 0% with none, 0% with the strongest supplied source. For a control mode that flat line is the result — it is what licenses reading movement elsewhere in this loop as grounding rather than as a document being present. Nothing survives at the best condition on the cases measured here.
