Consider the cube balanced on a cylinder as described in Example 4.7 (page 130). Assuming that b < r, use the Lagrangian approach to find the angular frequency of small oscillations about the top. The simplest procedure is to make the small-angle approximations to before you differentiate to get Lagr

Cereal A companys cereal boxes advertise 9.65 ounces of cereal. In fact, the amount of cereal in a randomly selected box follows a Normal distribution with mean m = 9.70 ounces and standard deviation s = 0.03 ounces. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected box of the cereal contains less

Baby birds Do birds learn to time their breeding? Blue titmice eat caterpillars. The birds would like lots of caterpillars around when they have young to feed, but they must breed much earlier. Do the birds learn from one years experience when to time their breeding next year? Researchers randomly as

It appears that there is a significant relationship between cognitive ability and social status, at least for birds. Boogert, Reader, and Laland (2006) measured social status and individual learning ability for a group of starlings. The following data represent results similar to those obtained in th

Thump-Thump Data Cities lay cables (plastic-coated sensors) in roadways to gather data on traffi c volume and speeds, causing a thump-thump sound. Based on thump-thump data, you have concluded that at a volume ( V ) of 1,500 vehicles, the time required for a 10-mile trip is 24 minutes, compared to 23
