Chapter 17, Problem 43(choose chapter or problem)
Youre winter camping and are melting snow for drinking water. The snow temperature is right around 0C. You set a pot containing 5.0 kg of snow on your campfire, and you keep stoking up the fire. As a result, the snow gains energy at an increasing rate: P = a + bt, where a = 1.1 kW, b = 2.3 W/s, and t is the time in s. To the nearest minute, how long will it take to melt the snow?
