See the provided image for the wave function for a particle in a box, where N is a constant. 

Determine a value for N so that the wave function is appropriately normalized and calculate the uncertainty △x in the particle's position.

(Hint: In reality, the wave function does not drop discontinuously to zero at the ends of the well. Assume the change in the wave functino occurs over such a small distance that you can neglet this effect in your calculation.
