Chapter 2 Mechanics
P42 lhc, Solution to Example, should have units of m s–1
P53 rhc, last line of Solution, ignores gravity so total force = 920 N
P64 Example 3 refers to diagram on p65 lhc
P65 lhc, Solution 2, answer should be 0.05 W
These errata apply only to the books that were printed in 2007 and 2008 (see flyleaf).
They have all been corrected in the current revised edition ISBN 978–1–876659–28–8

P214 lhc, fourth equation Pu should have proton number 94 as shown below
P221 lhc, 4 lines up should read ‘…the water uphill is more than the …’
P222 rhc, line 4 under the Solution, should read = 0.6 × 735 × 106 J s–1 = 441 MW
p227 lhc,
Ex 7 (b) should read ‘…4.0 × 108 J…’
Ex 8 line 2 should read’… 0.1 s–1’
