WORK, POWER, ENERGY & CONSERVATION LAWS
Preface
As you have gone through the theory part that consists of given fundamental principles,
definitions, concepts involved and solved problems. After going through theory part it
becomes necessary to solve the unsolved problems based on the concepts given. To
solve this purpose we are providing exercise part that comprises of various exercises
based on the theory. By solving various kinds of problems you can check your grasp on
the topic and can determine whether you have been able to find optimum depth in relevant
topic or not.
Students are advised to solve the questions of exercises (Levels # 1, 2, 3, 4) in the same
sequence or as directed by the faculty members, religiously and very carefully.
Level # 3 is not for foundation course students, it will be discussed in fresher or target
courses.
The list of exercises is as following :
