Sample Calculation Format2019

The document is an assignment for CIVE 271 by Alex Student, analyzing whether a hollow concrete sphere will float in water. It includes calculations for the volume of the object, buoyant force, and downward force, concluding that the object will float since the buoyant force exceeds the downward force. Additionally, it provides comments on presentation and submission guidelines for the assignment.

Comments:
 Be neat and clear.
 Write your name, date, and the course number on every page.
 Write the problem in your own words with a neat and clear sketch.
 Always write the equation with the variables exactly how it appears in your text,
rearrange if necessary and then repeat with the inserted values.
 Show the units for values that occur after an equals sign and sometimes in other
places for clarity.
 If you use an appendix or other outside source for information then reference the
source.
 Do not crowd your work. Do not use writing that is too small or use arrows to route
the reader around the page.
 Start a new sheet of paper for each major question. Do not use the back of the
paper.
 Assemble the pages so that the questions are in the order they were given.
