9/3 Class Schedule updated and EXAM1 date changed.

9/3 Homework Problem Corrections

Prob. 3.66 "4-m-high" should be "5-m-high"

Prob. 3.82 Figure is not correct. 10cm should be the height of the water mark rather than the height of the unknown liquid surface.

Prob. 3.102 "determine the maximum pressure and its location" should be "determine the maximum pressure difference and the location of the maximum pressure"

9/1 Lab groups updated according to the latest class list. Please double check your lab group# . and lab schedule .
