Lab 6

Midterm exam, with answers.
Observation:  In problems such as questions 3 and 5 it may be better to carry parameters and variables (b, S, t, H) in symbolic form, substituting the numbers only at the end.  Advantages:  a) Save ink (and time).  b) Reduce chance of mistakes and rounding errors.  c) You get a general formula where different parameter or variable values could be used if necessary.
