I have a simple little physics scenario that I'd like to nicely pretty print showing the relationships between KE = elastic PE to find velocity when the object returns back to x=0.

(simplify(solve(m*v^2/2*Unit('J') = F*x/2*Unit('J'), v)[1]) assuming positive)

This resolves to:

It would be nice to have all the individual terms reduce like how this works in Mathematica:

FullSimplify[Solve[1/2*m*v^2 == 1/2*F*x, v], {F > 0, x > 0, m > 1}]

 

Any tips on how to get all the square roots to reduce?
