### Problem Statement

Let \( X, Y \) be independent and identically distributed (iid) random variables each with the density function:

\[
f_X(x) = \frac{1}{x^2} \quad \text{for } x > 1
\]

and zero otherwise.

#### Questions:

(a) Find the density of \( Z = \frac{Y}{X} \).

(b) Find \( \mathbb{E}[\sqrt{Z}] \).
