Chapter 16, Problem 58P
While camping, you boil water to make spaghetti. Your pot contains 2.5 kg of water initially at 10°C. You stoke up the camp-fire, and as a result the water 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 bring the water to a boil?
