Thank you all! I found my error and corrected it. [upsidedown]
I had fat fingered the equation for k! That's what i get for staying up late and trying to get work done.
IDS your explanation made me realize where I had gone wrong thank you.
Hello All,
I have come into one of those roarks confusion stages. I am working with the 7th edition in table 8.8 the beam column stuff and noticed that the when the equation calls for a tan or sin or cos it greatly depends on if you convert to radians before.
This is an example from excel...
