Ball on string
About points...
We associate a certain number of points with each exercise.
When you click an exercise into a collection, this number will be taken as points for the exercise, kind of "by default".
But once the exercise is on the collection, you can edit the number of points for the exercise in the collection independently, without any effect on "points by default" as represented by the number here.
That being said... How many "default points" should you associate with an exercise upon creation?
As with difficulty, there is no straight forward and generally accepted way.
But as a guideline, we tend to give as many points by default as there are mathematical steps to do in the exercise.
Again, very vague... But the number should kind of represent the "work" required.

Why we use chess pieces? Well... we like chess, we like playing around with \(\LaTeX\)-fonts, we wanted symbols that need less space than six stars in a table-column... But in your layouts, you are of course free to indicate the difficulty of the exercise the way you want.
That being said... How "difficult" is an exercise? It depends on many factors, like what was being taught etc.
In physics exercises, we try to follow this pattern:
Level 1 - One formula (one you would find in a reference book) is enough to solve the exercise. Example exercise
Level 2 - Two formulas are needed, it's possible to compute an "in-between" solution, i.e. no algebraic equation needed. Example exercise
Level 3 - "Chain-computations" like on level 2, but 3+ calculations. Still, no equations, i.e. you are not forced to solve it in an algebraic manner. Example exercise
Level 4 - Exercise needs to be solved by algebraic equations, not possible to calculate numerical "in-between" results. Example exercise
Level 5 -
Level 6 -

Exercise:
A ball on the of a string is revolved at a uniform rate in a vertical circle of radius pqcm. If its speed is pq. and its mass is pqg calculate the tension in the string when the ball is a at the top of its path and b at the bottom of its path.
Solution:
The force acting on the ball to keep him on a circle is F m fracv^r pq.kg fracpq.^pq.m pq.N. abcliste abc At the top of the circle gravitation provides pq.N of the pq.N necessary i.e. the tension in the string is pq.N. abc At the bottom of the circle the strings tension not only has to keep the ball on a circle but also has to hold its weight i.e. the force in the string is pq.N. abcliste
