Mathcad help: "The forms of these values must match" error

Homework Statement


I am getting an error, when I assign a value to 'num', stating:

The forms of these values must match
This value has the form: Unitless,
but others have the form: f(any1, [unitless]) => [unitless]


I cannot figure out what the program wants me to do, how do I make the value of 'num := 100' match the others, or vise-versa? I am completely stuck. :rolleyes:

The Attempt at a Solution


I have tried everything I can think of, I have double checked all the numbers and units and can't find anything wrong. Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Thanks! :approve:

IDK, it seems like it should work. MathCAD can be frustrating that way. Here's an example file from the help section. Try running that and then slowly morph it into your example. You'll need to change the file extension from .txt to .xmcd.
