Sans explanation of your system of units. google says otherwise. An equation sans context of any applications is useless in engineering. Secondly if you needed to solve that equation, adding more context to google would get the answer for the question you asked.

To me the solution was pointing out the obvious path of self help to find an answer yourself. That's the purpose of what I call Engineering manuals.

That I assumed was your real question. Engineering is about finding solutions, finding answers, not solving equations.

That's the 98% 2% rule. One solves a particular equation when that equation is the right one or the best fit.
