Help! "This variable is undefined"

1) You forgot to type multiplication dots when calculating A.t * (....). If you write A.t(...) then A.t is interpreted as function.

2) You have a unit mismatch in your second equation. The first summand has to be multiplied by a length (I had simply multiplied by 1m which sure is not correct)
