If addtonal space s requred, use the whte lned paper provded to you. Work on one sde of each sheet only, wth only one problem on a sheet. Each problem s worth 20 ponts. Please remember that for you to obtan maxmum credt for a problem, t must be clearly presented,.e. The only authorzed exam calculator s the TI-30IIS The allowable exam tme for Exam 1 s 70 mnutes. The coordnate system must be clearly dentfed. Where approprate, free body dagrams must be drawn. These should be drawn separately from the gven fgures. Unts must be clearly stated as part of the answer. You must carefully delneate vector and scalar quanttes. If the soluton does not follow a logcal thought process, t wll be assumed n error. When handng n the test, please make sure that all sheets are n the correct sequental order and make sure that your name s at the top of every page that you wsh to have graded.
