Here is a problem from the Asian Physics Olympiad in India. This problem explores the Chandrasekhar Limit with a the beginning of a classical derivation of it.
Please note this is not an official solution and there may be mistakes and better approaches.
The original problem: apho.olimpicos.net/pdf/APhO_2012_Q2.pdf
Solution: apho.olimpicos.net/pdf/APhO_2012_S2.pdf
This can be used to prepare for similar olympiads such as the international physics olympiad, Ipho, the American physics Olympiad, the British Physics Olympiad BPho and national competitions.
Chapters:
00:00 Deriving the gravitational potential energy of the star
07:35 Total Energy
11:07 Finding the equilibrium with differentiation
