CHAPTER I. UNITS, PHYSICAL QUANTITIES, VECTORS

Homework no. 01
Answer the following problems and questions in a clean sheet of bond paper. Show
your necessary solutions and illustrations and box your final answers. Make sure to indicate
the necessary units and use 4 decimal places. Take a clear picture of your output and send it
to your instructor through private message.
