Hi Robert,

if  P*RL = 1129 psi * in, even QL must have the same units. The algebraic csum  is made between homogeneous quantities.

psi*in = lbf/in

I agree completely. But the applicant has considered the mass and not the strength.

Since his example is dividing units out, and since if you correct lb to lbf the equation is unit consistant, I assumed that the omission was due to confusion on the part of a new Mathcad user.  At any rate, you defined Q as "psi in,"  I defined it as "lbf/in," and these are equivalent.

We'll have to wait for his clarification.  😉

Dear Sir,

Thank your for your immediate reply

But still now i didn't get the answer

Q as lb/in only not lbf/in

as i mentioned the value is correct.

by this I mean that P*RL and QL must be lbf / in.

Well, not quite

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your immediate reply.

However still now i didn't get the correct answer.calc-5.JPG

Robert;

You're getting confused by the way Mathcad handles units.

There is a difference between lb and lbf; lb is a mass unit (like slugs and kilograms.)  lbf is a force (like Newtons.)  Your equations need to be unit balanced if they're correct.  Now, you define Q as two terms, the first term has defined units:

So Q has units of lbf/in.

When you write lbs/in of circumference, you're specifying force per unit length.  To Mathcad, that's lbf/in, or N/m, or . . .

‌Dear Sir,

Thank your for your reply

However i will check the units
