No problem. The trouble is likely the size of the constants in this equation. Doing a few steps by hand you see the calculation becomes even larger than it is initially, at some point you might exceed the largest integer that can be represented on the Prime.

That's why for physics problems where the constants are large, or in general, its a good idea to try and solve symbolically first because during the solving process the size of the expression likely does not grow that large compared to the size of the constants, and the CAS works well with symbols.
