On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this examination.
YOUR TEST NUMBER IS THE 5-DIGIT NUMBER AT THE TOP OF EACH PAGE.
(1) Code your test number on your answer sheet (use 76–80 for the 5-digit number). Code your name on your
answer sheet. DARKEN CIRCLES COMPLETELY. Code your UFID number on your answer sheet.
(2) Print your name on this sheet and sign it also.
(3) Do all scratch work anywhere on this exam that you like. Circle your answers on the test form. At the end of
the test, this exam printout is to be turned in. No credit will be given without both answer sheet and printout with
scratch work most questions demand.
(4) Blacken the circle of your intended answer completely, using a #2 pencil or blue or black ink. Do not
make any stray marks or some answers may be counted as incorrect.
(5) The answers are rounded off. Choose the closest to exact. There is no penalty for guessing. If you believe that no
correct answer is listed, leave this item blank!!
(6) Record your exam code; it will be used to post your score. Hand in the answer sheet separately.

8. Last week I examined a heart de-fibrillator on a hospital “crash cart”. The device delivers an electric shock to the heart
muscle(s) to (hopefully) regularize an erratic heartbeat. The model I saw can deliver up to 360 J of electric energy
through its two conducting plates or “paddles” that measure about 100 square cm each. Suppose that the paddles are
placed on a patient’s chest and back, opposite each other, separated by the thorax of thickness 25 cm. If the average
resistance of the patient (between the paddles) is 100 ohms and 200 J of energy is delivered in 50 milliseconds, what
