Solved: Youre winter camping and are melting snow for drinking water. The snow

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?
