In this section, you will walkthrough a sample exam that has an almost identical format of

the actual exam. Below is the sample exam document. Readers should verify the analysis
before trying out the solution after the sample review paper.

In this segment, you will be evaluated on the following skills:

▪ Creating various configuration from the existing configuration setup.

▪ modifying the configurations using a design table.

▪ Measuring the mass of the modified various configuration.
