    (1 of 7, 2 of 7, etc.).
  3. The problems must be presented in numerical order as assigned. One problem per page.   Write on one side of the sheet only. Lettering and numbers are to be neat, clear and legible.
  4. Draw neat, clear F.B.D’s as required. Use a straight edge or other drawing instruments as needed.
  5. Box in the final answer.
