Application of Differential Equation: mixture problem

A 600 gallon brine tank is to be cleared by piping in pure water at 1 gal/min. , and allowing the well-stirred solution to flow out at the rate of 2 gal/min. If the tank initially contains 1500 pounds of salt, a) how much salt is left in the tank after 1 hour? b) after 9 hours and 59 min?

What am I missing when I rotate a tripod leg 45 degrees to solve for loads

I solved for the loads on a tripod leg that creates a 45 degree angle with the ground. The leg is 2x2" tube. The legs fold up and then swings into open position and stopped by R2. After solving for the loads I rotated the leg to the horizontal position. I solved for the X&Y components. This allowed me to use a beam program with the Y loads and reactions to determine the moment diagram and bending stress. I would then solve for the axial stresses using the X components. I could then combine the bending stress and axial stresses.
