MATLAB: Is there a fault in the equation of the piston mechanism? (Simscape, Piston, Piston Engine)

Hello,
In the description of Piston Engine could be a fault [1]. The equation piston mechanism seems to have two diffrent results relating to the kind of unit (m^-1 on the left and m on the right). Am I wrong?

At a glance, you seem to be correct. I looked at the underlying code in the block and it seems the equations are implemented correctly, but the documentation is switched up -- it should be

Tb/Ft = -c*(...)

I have let the development team know. Thank you!
