Hi
Today I struggled with the units package - again...
Let me show you what I did:
Dynamic[Subscript[\[Tau], p]]
Subscript[l, case]
\[Lambda] = \Convert[Subscript[l, case]/Dynamic[Subscript[\[Tau], p]], 1]
This input results in:
27.4889 Meter Milli
281 Meter Milli
Convert::incomp : Incompatible units in (281 Meter Milli)/(27.4889 Meter Milli) and 1.
(281 Meter Milli)/(27.4889 Meter Milli)
If I don't use dynamic but constant tau_p everything is fine...
So Mathematica isn't able to to reduce this fraction? What's the reason for this behaviour and what can I do about it?
Thanks for your help!
Mathias
