Nicol (see References) lets the pdf of \(X\) be defined by \(f(x)= \begin{cases}x, & 0 \leq x \leq 1 \\ c / x^{3}, & 1 \leq x<\infty \\ 0, & \text { elsewhere }\end{cases}\) Find (a) The value of \(c\) so that \(f(x)\) is a pdf. (b) The mean of \(X\) (if it exists). (c) The variance of \(

Problem 11P IP Three 6.75-kg masses are at the corners of an equilateral triangle and located in space far from any other masses. (a) If the sides of the triangle are 1.25 m long, find the magnitude of the net force exerted on each of the three masses. (b) How does your answer to part (a) change if t

Aquaporins exclude passage of hydronium ions (H30+). But recent research has revealed a role for some aquaporins in fat metabolism, in which they allow passage of glycerol, a three-carbon alcohol (see Figure 5.11), as well as H20. Since H30+ is much closer in size to water than is glycerol, what do y
