Post Questions you have about Exam 1 here on the blog by end of day Tuesday, 2/23/2016.
We will try address these questions in Wednesday’s Lecture.

Will values be given in the same units as intended for the answer? For example, will we need to know conversions from mph to m/s or MPA to N/m^2?
Do we need to memorize equations for Hertz Contact Theory or will these be provided if needed?
Just realized it was mentioned lecture that the exam will cover work energy, conservation of linear momentum, statics and anatomy. I’m guessing no Hertz Contact then?
I’m curious to the answer to this question as well! Thanks for asking.
What will we be permitted to use (if anything) on the exam? Notes, book, etc.
I confirmed with Dr. Nauman on Friday that the exam is closed book and no notes. I was really hoping we could get a crib sheet to right down equations/conversions/etc, but sounds like we’re going to only get what’s provided on the exam and whatever we bring in from memory.
Thanks Laura. I was hoping for the same as the anatomy portion has me a little worried. I have no bio background and there’s a lot from that practice packet to try and memorize.
Welcome! You and I are in the same boat… I haven’t had a need to know this information from memory in at least 8 years, if not longer.
What lectures does the exam cover? Is it 1-14 or will it also include content that we have not had homework on yet?
Will we need to have a proctor or is it a “take home” test.
Will it be timed?
Proctored, time test. Closed book, closed notes.
Does the exam cover conservation of angular momentum? (I know you mentioned that conservation of linear momentum will be on the exam, but wondering about angular).
Is total joint reaction, single force, no moment, and/or multi-force no moment on the exam?
Do we need to know how to derive the equations?
I think I heard Dr. Nauman said it wouldn’t be, but is there confirmation that the dynamics we covered last Friday won’t be on the exam?
Correct!
Just a helpful study tip for the anatomy questions… bringing back the “Bone Dance.”

does anyone have a good resource for 4b on the anatomy exam handout (the vertebral bodies)? I can find some anatomical diagrams online but I’m not sure what some of the lines are pointing at, even from those.
I’d suggest Frank Netter’s artwork for anatomy. It’s excellent.
Google
Frank Netter spine anatomy
This is what I understood , after watching yesterday’s lecture:
. Anything covered up to Statics is fair game. This means no Dynamics (B’Euler up!) in this Exam
. I understood from Dr. Nauman’s comments that we should not expect to see anything on Hertz analysis. After memorizing dozens of muscles and bones, I don’t think my brain has room for those incredibly elaborate formulas . I bet we will see CLM, work energy , anatomy , statics applied to muscles and maybe a CAM problem..
How were the points in exam 1 distributed?
If I remember correctly 26 points total for problems 1-4 and 74 points left between problems 5 and 6, assuming the exam is out of 100. (Though the homework has been out of 50…)
Has anyone actually gotten a graded exam back?
I have not yet.
