both mean value and standarddeviation, to return a numerical track quality indicator, which will inform the user whether or notthe given case of operation if feasible. In order to numerically determine the track quality, Q, anequation that effectively ranks each situation was elaborated.Additionally, serious wear marks were noticed on the Elizabethtown College outdoor athletictrack, which makes it one of the most difficult cases to achieve (Table 3). On the other hand,readings were collected from the new outdoor athletic track at Alvernia University (Reading,PA), to quantitatively rank more than one typical quality of outdoor tracks. It was found that theanalyses of these readings were much more conclusive, making it a far easier case. However

networks made up of multiple capacitors exclusively in series,parallel or hybrid series/parallel combinations. However, they were not asked in this course todetermine how the voltages split up across capacitors in a network (e.g. series) connected to avoltage source, as they were required to do with a series resistance (e.g. voltage divider) Page 26.362.10network. While they were expected to understand that the same amount of electric currentpasses through each and every one of the resistors in a purely series resistor circuit, they did notrecall or apply here the relationship between charge and voltage across a capacitor (Q = CV),that they
