• Chapters on ‘Fundamentals of Dynamics’, ‘Rotational Dynamics’, ‘Elasticity’, ‘Fluid Motion’, ‘Gravitation and Central Force Motion’, and ‘Oscillations’ have been introduced.

• Chapters on ‘Collisions’ and ‘Non-inertial Systems’ have been modified from the previous edition to meet the requirements of the new syllabus.

• Chapter on ‘Special Theory of Relativity’ and a new concept of ‘Michelson-Morley Experiment’ along with its mathematical proof has been covered.

• The topics of general elective syllabus which include ‘Vectors’, ‘Ordinary Differential Equations’ and ‘Laws of Motion’ have also been added.
