SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that the equation AC sin(B/C) = B does not have an analytic solution. It simplifies to sin(x)/x = k, where x = B/C and k = 1/A. The analysis shows that for real values of x and k, the condition |k| > 1 results in no solution, validating the initial suspicion of the participants.

Where A and C are constants. Is there any analytic to solve for B?

There is no analytic solution. The problem can be simplified to be:
sin(x)/x=k, where x=B/C and k=1/A. When dealing with real values for x and k, |k|>1 has no solution.
 
That's what I suspected. Thanks for confirming.
