This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Simplifying Term for Fb - Simplifying Term for Fb is the term introduced for reducing the complex calculation needed for evaluating allowable stress.
Maximum Unbraced Length - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum Unbraced Length also known as the unsupported length, is the largest distance along a structural member between the brace points.
Radius of Gyration - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Gyration is the distance from the axis of rotation to a point where the total mass of any body is supposed to be concentrated.
Yield Stress of Steel - (Measured in Megapascal) - Yield Stress of Steel is the stress at which the material begins to deform plastically, meaning it will not return to its original shape when the applied force is removed.
Moment Gradient Factor - Moment Gradient Factor is rate at which moment is changing with length of beam.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Unbraced Length: 1921 Millimeter --> 1.921 Meter (Check conversion here)
Radius of Gyration: 87 Millimeter --> 0.087 Meter (Check conversion here)
Yield Stress of Steel: 250 Megapascal --> 250 Megapascal No Conversion Required
Moment Gradient Factor: 1.96 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = ((l_max/r)^2*F_y)/(510000*C_b) --> ((1.921/0.087)^2*250)/(510000*1.96)

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 0.121935450094954

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.121935450094954 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.121935450094954 ≈ 0.121935 <-- Simplifying Term for Fb
