Could anybody suggest a source of physics problems similar to those found at the following link:

http://www.solvephysics.com/index.html

The problems provided at this site are what I require but a difficulty that arose when trying to purchase their material is proving difficult to resolve, ie I do not get any response to my query on the difficulty, so I would like to find an alternative.

Tusike,
Thank you for your response.

Do you know where solutions to past questions can be obtained?

Best regards
 
I forgot to mention these: http://www.komal.hu/verseny/korabbi.e.shtml
They are the problems of previous years.
The solutions are not given to all problems, unfortunately, and this even bothers me:) Some of the solutions are posted, so you may be able to check the numerical and final answer. Otherwise I suggest that if you just can't do a problem, you ask it from me or post it on the forum, that's what I've done.
 
Tusike,
Thank you for your further response.

I will do what you suggest with any problems that I cannot solve.

Best regards
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
