Actually, you can just mark the problem as "solved", then people will know they don't need to read it.

Deleting a post on any platform can be a simple process once you know how to do it. On most social media and blogging sites, there should be an option to delete or remove a post. If you are having trouble finding this option, you can try reaching out to the site's support team for assistance.

However, as a scientist, I would like to offer an alternative solution. Instead of deleting the post, why not edit it to indicate that you have solved the physics problem? This way, others who may have been working on the problem can see your solution and potentially learn from it. Science is all about sharing knowledge and building upon the work of others, so deleting the post may not be the best course of action.

In the future, it may be helpful to include in your post that you are looking for a solution or assistance with a physics problem, rather than just posing it as a challenge. This can avoid confusion and potential misunderstandings. Thank you for your contribution to the scientific community.
