I'm trying to use Mathcad to solve a series of equations. I keep getting the error message WhatsApp Image 2017-04-08 at 4.49.36 PM.jpeg"This variable is undefined" Any tips?

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)
