Errata R. Shankar Fundamentals of Physics February 27, 2019


The pages and lines here refer to lines of the first edition of textbook. I do not have access
to the final PDF for me to refer to since the PDF I sent was modified by the Latex Editor
but I was not given the final version.

1. Page 2, line 6, para 2: should read “.. phys-200, and over 300 (with answers but not
solutions) after Chapter 24.”

2. Page 5 Second line, second para: “at time t1 ” should read “at time t2 ”

3. Page 40 Eqn. 3.4 should read mE = 1 · a1


aE

4. Page 63 Line 2: ”If the magnitude of the displacement is the same, so are the magni-
tudes of velocity and acceleration..”

5. Page 151 ..aT i = ri α is FT i

6. Page 152 ”.. while the radial part and the internal forces will keep the body rigid and
furnish the requisite centripetal force.”

7. Page 211 ”by reversing the sign of θ in Eqns. 13.3 and 13.4”
vw uw
8. Page 213 Formula 13.18 in denominator replace c2
by c2
.

9. Page 216 Eqn 13.21


τ0 − 0 · cu2
∆t′ = √
1 − uc2
2

10. Page 227, Eq. 14.1: v 2 /c2 → u2 /c2

11. Page 238 Eqns. 14.40 and 14.41 a′3 = a3 → a′2 = a2 and a′4 = a4 → a′3 = a3

12. Page 239, Eqn. 14.44 remove the huge square root put in just curved brackets as
follows:  ( )2 
1 −
1 dx .
c2 dt

13. Page 261 Sec 16.2 line 3: (1 − x)n−1 → (1 + x)n−1


x2
14. Page 264 Eq. 16.27 should read cos x = 1 − 2
+ ...

15. Page 268 line 6 Eqn. Eqn. 16.40 should read 16.41

16. Page 282. Line 3 end the sentence after the word ”pendulum”. (with no reference to
any figure.)

17. Page 310 about 2 sentences above Eq 18.13 and then I wil analyze it has misspelled
will

18. Page 316 ”This is just half the mass of the segment ...”
2

19. 2 sentences above Eq 19.23 while will reduce to Eqn. 19.22 should be which will...

20. Units for specific heat have to be corrected in FIVE places:


Page 362 2 lines above Eq. 21.3 and twice in 21.3: cal/g or kcal/kg must become

cal/(g · K)

kcal/(g · K)

Do the same in Page 363 line 2 of penultimate paragraph


Do the same in Page 364 in two line paragraph to read c2 = 1kcal/(kg · K)

21. Page 404, line 6 from bottom should read “until you get to D.”

22. Page 413 ”parts of Q0i may be negative...”

23. Page 414, caption for Fig. 24.1 ” If it happens that ∆Qi < 0...”

24. Page 405: In Eqn. 23.24 nT1 should be nRT1 , and in Eqn. 23.25 nT2 should be nRT2
