Engineering Paper Homework Guidelines

This document provides formatting guidelines for homework assignments in engineering. It instructs students to include their name, date, and problem number at the top of the page. For each problem, they should state the given information, what they are trying to find, and show the step-by-step work and solution in a clear, organized manner using proper units and vector notation. Students are told to include free body diagrams, the relevant equations, kinematics steps if needed, and to check their work for reasonableness.

DATE PROBLEM NUMBER NAME


________________________________________________________________________

Given: A concise statement (in your own words) of the information given.

Find: A concise statement (in your own words) of the information sought.

Solution: Sketch the system to be studied. USE A STRAIGHT EDGE for drawing
lines. Always draw in the UNIT VECTORS for the coordinate systems
that you use in your solution.

For kinetics problems, follow the four-step plan:


1. Draw FBD’s
2. Write down the fundamental kinetics equations (Newton/Euler,
work/energy, linear impulse/momentum, angular impulse
momentum equations)
3. Kinematics
4. Solve

Do the solution symbolically.


At the end convert all quantities to a consistent set of units and substitute
into the equations to obtain the answers.

Check your answers for correctness and feasibility.

Check your vector notation and units. In particular, check that you are
not equating vector quantities to scalar quantities. It is important that you
demonstrate that you know the difference between scalars and vectors. So
pay attention to your notation.

Label the answers. ANSWER
