SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the equation ε = (BA)/t, specifically solving for B. The correct manipulation of the equation involves multiplying both sides by t to yield εt = BA, followed by dividing by A to isolate B, resulting in B = (εt)/A. A participant highlights a discrepancy in the textbook's presentation of the equation, noting that it expresses B as B = E/(A/t) = Et/A, which was initially overlooked due to formatting issues with the modulus sign.
