w_t = 5160/sqrt(f_uc)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Flat Width Ratio - Flat Width Ratio is the ratio of width w of a single flat element to the thickness t of the element.
Computed Unit Stress of Cold formed Element - (Measured in Pascal) - Computed Unit Stress of Cold formed Element is the stress upon that element at a certain place, expressed in units of force per unit of cross-sectional area.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Computed Unit Stress of Cold formed Element: 0.15 Megapascal --> 150000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
