    done, all sorted, thank you all, it helps if I copy things down correctly, brackets and division in the correct place.

    In M3 it looks like you are trying to add 1 (dimensionless) to r^2-b^2 (dimensions of length^2).

     

    Similarly, in M4 you are trying to add dimensionless quantities to dimensional ones.

      May be it is an empirical formulas?

      Compare your expressions with those in the design code very carefully.  You will see that you have got some of your division lines in the wrong place!
