I would still appreciate it a lot if you could elaborate on my question. | |

The text you are using appears to be one that uses the notion of relativistic mass. However, most modern treatments have discarded that notion as unnecessary and conducive to mental error ; the modern method defines the mass as the invariant square of the energy momentum four vector (to within appropriate factors of $c$). | |
