represents the square root of type class U.

Calculates a rational approximation of the square root of the unit. The error in the calculation is bounded by 1/epsilon (Eps). E.g. for the default value of 10000000000, the maximum error will be a/10000000000, or 1e-8, or said another way, the error will be on the order of 10^-9. Since these calculations are done at compile time, it is advisable to set epsilon to the highest value that does not cause an integer overflow in the calculation. If you can't compile ratio_sqrt due to overflow errors, reducing the value of epsilon sufficiently will correct the problem.

ratio_sqrt is guaranteed to converge for all values of Ratio which do not overflow.

Template Parameters
Uunit type to take the square root of.
EpsValue of epsilon, which represents the inverse of the maximum allowable error. This value should be chosen to be as high as possible before integer overflow errors occur in the compiler.
Note
USE WITH CAUTION. The is an approximate value. In general, squared<sqrt<meter>> != meter, i.e. the operation is not reversible, and it will result in propogated approximations. Use only when absolutely necessary.
