Solver - Read the problem carefully and develop a mental picture
of the physical situation. If necessary, sketch a simple diagram
of the physical situation to help you visualize it. - Identify
the known and unknown quantities and record in an organized
manner, often times they can be recorded on the diagram itself.
Equate given values to the symbols used to represent the
corresponding quantity (e.g.,
