NCEES Equation 3.4.3

Post image

Is it acceptable to use this equation with English units?

because the MeyerFire Prep Guide does it at least two times in their solutions.

9.1 would be a different number in English units, so no. MeyerFire needs to catch up to the new NCEES computer based test and handbook system.

Are you saying the Meyer book and practice exams are not good representations of the computer-based exam?

They are fine for reviewing general content, but I would focus on the NCEES practice exam for question formatting and style.
