(II) The roller-coaster car shown in Fig. 6-41 is dragged up to point 1 where it is released from rest. Assuming no friction, calculate the speed at points 2, 3, and 4. Figure 6-41

Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists 4
Suppose that the random variable X has a probability density function f (x) =2x for 0 x 1. Find the probability density function and the expectation of the random variable Y in the following cases. (a) Y = X3 (b) Y =X (c) Y =1/(1+ X) (d) Y =2X

Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes 4
The chemical reactor shown below has a cover that is held in place by a series of bolts. The cover is made of stainless steel SG 8:0, is 3 inches thick, has a diameter of 24 inches, and covers and seals an opening 20 inches in diameter. During turnaround, when the reactor is taken out of service for

Churches, Incinerators, and Housing Prices Recent hedonic studies of urban housing markets have concluded that the price of housing is higher closer to churches, and lower closer to incinerators. Suppose that price of a house one kilometer from a church is $7,000 higher than an identical house two ki
