Check your units for r2.
 
Thank you. I was able to find part a) and r1. However, I was unable to find r^.. in part b). This is what I have so far:

I don't know how to integrate the acceleration vector to velocity vector it seems.
 

Thread 'Modeling a graph that shows age in relation to depth of an ice sample'

To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
