In summary, the conversation is about using substitution and base units to calculate the answer in Km s-1. The equation involves square roots and values for p, x, and y with units of Kg, m, and s. The speaker also mentions converting the final answer from m/s to km/s.

Heres the question – :bugeye:

√ x + 4/3 y
√ p
(this whole equation should be squared, but not sure how to make the square root symbol big enough)

p = 3.4 e3 Kg m-³

x = 1.6 e11 N m-²

y = 6.4 e10 N m-²

I need to calculate the answer and give my answer in Km s-1 (Km per second)

Any ideas?? :confused:

I don't understand... are you just trying to substitute them in?

If the problem is with the units, just use base units all the way through (kg, m, s) and then your final answer will be in m/s. Then its easy to convert m/s to km/s.
