A snowplow heads out to plow a 50 mile stretch of highway when there is already an inch of snow on the ground. The snow is falling steadily at a rate of one inch per hour. The speed of the plow is 50/d mph where d is the depth of the snow in inches.

How long does the plow travel this 50 mile stretch of road? (one way)

(In reply to re(2): numerical integration by Charlie)

Numerical integration was invented long before computers or other digital machines
