Message:
If I purchased some camphor, climbed up say 10 storeys, and lit it, will the
camphor burn brighter than at ground level? I ask this because, I gain
potential energy when I climb up and there is no residue from camphor to "
hold'' the potential energy. So how is the gain in potential energy
compensated?
