A snowplow begins to plow a road at 6 am, when snow is on the ground at a certain depth and continuing to fall at a constant rate. Assume the speed of the snowplow is inversely proportional to the depth of snow. If the snowplow covers twice as much distance in the first hour as the second, when did the snow begin to fall? Recall that displacement is given by the definite integral of speed.

- Pumping Liquids From a Container An engineer, for example, may want to know how much work required to pump all or part of the liquid from container. To do this, we imagine lifting the liquid out one thin horizontal slab at a time and applying the equation W = Fd to each slab. We then evaluate the integral that this leads to as the slabs become thinner and more numerous. Suppose that a conical container has a height of 4 ft with a radius at the top of 2 ft and is filled to the top with freshwater. We may model the container in the plane with the coordinate axis intersected at the point (0, 0) (the origin) as illustrated below. Suppose that a slab has been created at an arbitrary value, y, with a thickness of Ay. Find the approximate volume of such a slab in terms of y. AV = ft Note: type 'Dy' to input Ay in your answer. Now suppose that the container is filled with freshwater having a weight-density of 62.4 and that the force required to lift this slab is equal to its weight.
