Hi,
In GNU Emacs (v24.3.1) Calc embedded mode, I'd like to perform unit
simplification such that (5 N / 2 m^2) gives the result 2.5 Pa (where 1 Pa = 1
N/m^2). But I am unable to get the unit N/m^2 converted to Pa. I have the
following entries before unit simplification:
\begin{equation}
%%% a := 5 * N %%%
a \gets 5 N
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
%%% b := 2 * m^2 %%%
b \gets 2 m^2
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
%%% c := a / b => 2.5 * N / m^2 %%%
\evalto c \gets \frac{a}{b} \to \frac{2.50 N}{m^2}
\end{equation}
The value of "c" I am expecting after unit simplification is:
\begin{equation}
%%% c := a / b => 2.5 * Pa %%%
\evalto c \gets \frac{a}{b} \to 2.50 Pa
\end{equation}
My "Units Table" contains the following entry:
Unit Type Definition Description
Pa U \frac{N}{m^2} Pascal
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Sharad
