Page 106, second to last line

            After the given expression for the frequency, insert

                        = sqrt(3 g / 2 r_o),  since  l / m = sqrt(g r_o^3)

Page 109, Equation (xiv):

            The coefficient 8 of the second term on the left should be a 4.

Page 208, line 2 of Problem 13.10:
