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
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
