Problem

Snow begins falling at time t=0t=0 hours. For 0≤t≤40\le t\le4, the snowfall rate s(t)s(t) (in cm/hr) increases linearly from 00 at t=0t=0 to hh at t=4t=4. For 4<t≤64< t\le6, the rate remains constant at 3 cm/hr3\text{ cm/hr}. If a total of 14 cm14\text{ cm} of snow accumulates during the first 66 hours, determine the value of hh.
