Known Errors in the First Printing of Unit
C, 1/e
NOTE:
In all that follows I will use <letter name> to
represent a Greek-letter variable, ^ to indicate that the next
quantity is superscripted, _ to indicate that the next quantity is
subscripted, and boldface to indicate a vector quantity. I will also
go against typographical convention and put punctuation
outside of quotation marks to make whatever is enclosed in
quotes exactly reflect what is (or should be) in the
text.

- page 57, problem C4B.10, part a: rewrite so a dot can be
inserted between "kg" and "m/s".
- page 58, answer to exercise E4X.2: the components of the
velocity are 16 m/s, &endash;4.0 m/s, and &endash;0.4 m/s. The
components of the momentum are 32 kg.m/s, &endash;8.0 kg.m/s, and
&endash;0.8 kg.m/s.
- page 58, answer to exercise E4X.7, top line of second column:
Substitute "If we interpret" for "Intepreting".
- page 58, fourth line following: Substitute "can be found using

make it clear that the object is placed 5 m below the ground.
- page 88, answer to exercise C6X.2, last line: last item in the
equation should be 4m^2g(z_i -
z_f) instead of 4mg(z_i -
z_f).
- page 103, problem C7B.4, last line: V(z) should
be V(r).
- page 118, answer to exercise C8X.2, last item in equation
C8.26: removed bar in dp^2.
- page 118, equation C8.27, second line: made 2.0 m/s positive
and 0.010 kg.m/s negative to improve clarity
- page 118, equation C8.28: final result should be -0.10 J, not
-10 J.
- page 134, problem C9A.2: fifth line: change capital
<theta> to small <theta>.
