If you truly have only 60 Volts from a 120 volt outlet, you need to contact an electrician to help you find the problem. You most likely have a neutral that is not properly tied to the center tap of the service transformer. It is not recommended that you attempt to repair that yourself.

How far from a door can an electrical outlet be installed?
As close as you want. You must insall an outlet a minium of every 12 feet of wall space. If the wall is smaller that 24" it does not require an outlet.
How do you insulate an electrical outlet?
If the outlet is on an outside wall there is a plastic boot that goesaround the outlet. The purpose of this boot is to keep the vapour barrier intact. The edges of this boot are then taped to the wall vapour barrier to make a complete air seal. The insulation goes behind the outlet boot which allows the wall R value to remain the same as the rest of the wall.

What is the resistance in ohms of the computer-monitor combination when a desktop computer and monitor together draw about 1.2 A of current and they plug into a wall outlet that is 120 V?
The combination will have a resistance of 100ohms, and will drew 144watts. But, the wall outlet will usually be fluctuating from 115V to 135V, 120V is't only a "reference". I suggest you measure it a voltmeter before doing any calculation. Then, you can use this formula (ohms law) to find the correct answer : R = V/I In our case : R(ohms) = 120V / 1.2A R = 100ohms
