multiply the LHS of your equation by (mL bar)/(N m),

Isn't it the other way round? Basically thats what Richard suggested.

 

@Ben: You wanted Mathcad to show its correction factor, but its not Mathcad applying that kind of factor but the equation you want to use. So basically all you can do if you work with units (and IMHO you should do so) and nevertheless use the 20 in that formula is to get rid of the units temporarily and immedeatly add them again.

This can be done as Richard suggested by dividing each variable by its supposed unit or, as Fred suggested, by adding the same variables as a factor at the end of the equation (see attached). Basically you use your equation with the corrections factor 1/10 and get rid of it again by the adding that factor consisting of units.

 

In which way you thought the equation and calculation should be displayed when using variables with units?

 

In Mathcad 15 and below we could hide the keywords "explicit,ALL" and change the arrow to a normal equal sign which makes for a much better display. Unfortunately we can't do that in Prime.
