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.
