SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a comprehensive resource for physics problems, specifically focusing on calculations related to Coulomb's force and moments of inertia. Participants express a desire for a systematic collection of problems that can serve as a reference for educators writing physics textbooks. The mention of Schaum's outlines indicates that while they are considered valuable, there is a perceived gap in the availability of a more extensive compilation of physics problems. The conversation highlights the importance of having a structured repository for various physics scenarios.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Coulomb's Law and electrostatics
  • Familiarity with moments of inertia in classical mechanics
  • Knowledge of projectile motion and its various problem-solving perspectives
  • Experience with physics problem formulation and textbook writing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research comprehensive physics problem collections, such as Schaum's Outlines
  • Explore online databases or repositories for physics problems
  • Investigate educational resources for physics teachers, focusing on problem sets
  • Learn about creating systematic problem collections for educational purposes
USEFUL FOR

Physics educators, textbook authors, and students seeking a structured approach to physics problems, particularly those focused on electrostatics and mechanics.

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:
