hi,

 

i've never used symbolics before and i'm having a bit of trouble. i attached the worksheet in question. i'm trying to solve for v1 and v2. however, u1 and u2 are also coming out of the Find function. i think i'm missing something.

 

thanks,

 

anthony

There appears to be nothing wrong.

 

You supply 2 equations, and want two variables solved. That matches.

Mathcad gives you two possible solutions, one where v1 equals u1 and v2 equals u2, the other where v1 and v2 depend on u1, u2, m1 and m2.

 

You can also do:

thanks luc,

 

is there a way to tell it to ignore when u1=v1 and u2=v2

I guess you will have to select the desired column manually (but you shouldn't use copy & paste):
