    This document provides instructions for a Statics of Rigid Bodies midterm exam consisting of two tests - a problem solving test and an essay test. The problem solving test contains 10 multi-part problems requiring calculations and free-body diagrams. The essay test contains 3 questions requiring short answers about methods for truss analysis, the difference between static and kinetic friction, and what constitutes a frictional force. Students are instructed to show work, label answers, submit individually paginated solutions, and provide summaries for problem solving questions.
