Chapter 1.3, Problem 37E
Let It snow The “snowplow problem” is a classic and appears in many differential equations texts, but it was probably made famous by Ralph Palmer Agnew:
One day it started snowing at a heavy and steady rate. A snowplow started out at noon, going 2 miles the first hour and 1 mile the second hour. What time did it start snowing?
Find the textbook Differential Equations, Ralph Palmer Agnew, McGraw-Hill Book Co., and then discuss the construction and solution of the mathematical model.

- Define Newton’s Law of Cooling. Then name at least three real-world situations where Newton’s Law of Cooling would be applied.arrow_forwardA dead body was discovered shortly before midnight. At exactly midnight, the temperature of the body was 85°F. Four hours later, the body had cooled to 74°F. If the room where the body was found was a constant 68°F, what was the time of death? Solve this problem by first setting up the differential equation that describes this situation, then find its solution to answer the question. Note: Newton's Law of coaling states that the rate of change of temperature of an object is proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and its surroundings. (Take normal body temperature to be 98.6°F)arrow_forwardIt says we're supposed to use differentials.arrow_forward
- This is a practice question from my Differential Equations course. I keep coming up with 387.5 pounds, but the back of the book says it should be 393.75 pounds. What do you come up with? Thank you.arrow_forwardPlease answer this using MS Excel or spreadsheet and show the formulas used and how to come up with the final answer. Use Euler's Method in answeringarrow_forwardA tank initially contains 50 gallons of brine, with 30 pounds of salt in solution. Water runs into the tank at 6 gallons per minute and the well-stirred solution runs out at 5 gallons per minute. How long will it be until there are 25 pounds of salt in the tank? The amount of time until 25 pounds of salt remain in the tank is minutes. Hint: This problem is a bit complicated. Set up a differential equation and separate variables.arrow_forward

Thank youarrow_forward2) The rate of increase in a bank account is 4% of the amount in the account; the initial deposit is $1000. a) State the rate of change of the amount in the bank account as a differential equation. b) Solve this diffy q to find an equation that describes the amount of money in the account as a function of time, with t = 0 as the time of the initial deposit of $1000. c) Explain and show why 4% is called the constant of proportionality, and how the equations found in question a) and question b) relate. d) Explain and show how to derive continuous compound interest formula. Explain how it relates to this problem (this should be obvious!). The compound interest formula is easily found and is commonly found in algebra 2 and precalculus textbooks, such as this image I got from a precalculus text from my classroom: If P dollars is invested at an annual interest rate of r, compounded continuously, then A is the amount after t years.
