Has anyone found a more elegant treatment of calculating with units than the HP calculators? I'd love to have an HP48 CLI to do unit calcs with. .5 * 10_m/s

Has anyone found a more elegant treatment of calculating with units than the HP calculators?
I'd love to have an HP48 CLI to do unit calcs with.
.5 * 10_m/s^2 * (15_s)^2 = 1125_m
Admittedly, the HPs interim results are a bit of a mess:
sqrt(6.673E-11_N*m^2/kg^2 * 5.98E24_kg / 6780_km) =
242603.08_N^.5*m/(kg^.5*km^.5)
But, this converts cleanly to m/s: 7671.8m/s
Everything else I've found have been just super fiddly.
- amenghra 3y agoGive https://numpad.io/ https://numpad.io/ a try. It's not a CLI though.
- whartung 3y agoThis is very nice, thanks!
- sigstoat 3y agognu units can do that You have: .5 * (10 m/s^2) * (15 s)^2 You want: Definition: 1125 m You have: sqrt((6.673E-11 N*m^2/kg^2) * (5.98E24 kg) / (6780 km)) You want: Definition: 7671.783 m / s
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoTI's graphing calculators work essentially the same way. As does GNU Units.
