This document contains an unsolved physics paper from 1985 with 10 multiple choice questions about mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. The questions cover topics like work done pulling a chain over an edge, angular momentum of a mass moving parallel to an axis, resonance of an air column in a pipe, and properties of capacitors, dielectrics, and X-rays. It also includes 2 fill-in-the-blank questions about radioactive decay and lens combinations, and 6 true/false questions testing understanding of sound beats, current-voltage graphs, train pressures, gas process graphs, electron/proton motion in magnetic fields, and rotational acceleration.
