So I'm stuck on this snow plough question. I've tried it but I'm confused. I'm unsure of the ways I would approach this question and I dont have the answers. Does anyone know a way in which to approach this question? (2000 HSC Q10b)

Apparently only 3 students in the state got this question correct.

Really? I wouldn't expect many to get it but is it really that hard? Once you've set up the equation (which you just have to integrate the result from a), you just sub in values and solve... The algebra is a bit involved but only 3?

It seems easier when you see the solutions before attempting it.

Yeah I did it but I'm a 4U student. This is very hard for a 2U paper- maybe Q6/7 of a 3U paper.

NO. Definitely not hard enough for the last Question of 3U.
Could be the first part of the last Q, or in the 2nd last Q.
