TERM TEST 3
 
 

Format for Test

Term Test 3 will consist of two sections, one involving short answers dealing with concepts, and the other involving a choice of problems similar to what you have seen in the problem sets and tutorial discussions. I recommend you look at the previous year's term test to get some sense of what this will look like.

I will provide you with a short formula sheet that will give the basic equations for forces, moments of inertia and angular variables. There are no other aids allowed.
