Okay so let’s say, hypothetically, I have the equation FL^3. Does it turn into F^3 times L^3, or F times L^3, or (F times L)^3. Literally no one has ever explained this to me and I’ve always just been too afraid to ask and now i’m taking engineering and I’m very confused. I’ve tried googling it but nothing has given me a straight answer. Please help.

So assuming that F and L are individual variables there, FL^3 = F times L times L times L, so F times L^3.
If you had (FL)^3, that would be F^3 times L^3. The parentheses matter.
