    Physics Resource
AI Thread Summary
A search for a comprehensive resource of physics problems reveals a need for a systematic collection that covers various topics, such as calculating the Coulomb force from charged objects and moments of inertia for geometric shapes. The discussion highlights the desire for a centralized book or list that encompasses a wide array of physics problems, similar to an almanac, which could serve as a valuable tool for educators. Participants express skepticism about the existence of such a resource, suggesting that many textbook authors may rely on modifying existing problems rather than creating new ones. The mention of Schaum's outlines indicates a recognition of their value, though there is a yearning for a more extensive compilation of problems across different areas of physics.

Does anybody know of some kind of treasure trove of physics problems?
Imagine you were a physics teacher writing a book & wanted to include a few problems on
calculating the coulomb force exerted by a ring of charge, or a line of charge etc... or wanted
to include calculations on moments of inertia of a few geometric bodies, would there be a
massive book/list of nearly all the possibilities, like all the possible problems, that you could
look in & choose a few from?
Again, with projectile problems there are many perspectives from which questions can be
asked & I'm just wondering if there's some resource that lists almost all possibilities in any
areas of physics in a very systematized fashion.
It seems to me that textbook authors refer to some almanac of physics problems,
but I could just be wrong and they modify old problems in old books by adding Alice & Bob
rhetoric. I'm afraid that Schaums are the best there is... :frown:
