Instructions: This test is closed book and closed notes. You may use an 8½"×11" sheet with
formulas prepared beforehand. Calculators are also allowed, although preprepared programs,
integration and equation solving routines are not. Credit is dependent on showing all steps in the
calculation on this test. Clearly state any assumptions or approximations you use to solve the
problems. If an approximate solution is appropriate, successive approximations are not required.
For full credit, an answer must have the correct number of significant figures and correct units.
