    Note: For problems 5 and 6 each student must replace the load with the lowest magnitude by a
    loadthatiscalculatedasfollows:
    P = P
    0
    *sin(ALN)

    Where:
    P - Load for replacement
    P
    0
    - Original load to be replaced
    ALN - Attendance list number for each student (Rad)

    The replacement must take account for the final sign of the calculation of P.
