To solve the problem, we need to find the non-zero integers \( x, y, z \) such that the expression \( P^x Q^y C^z \) is dimensionless. We will start by determining the dimensions of \( P \), \( Q \), and \( C \). ### Step 1: Determine the dimensions of \( P \) (radiation pressure) Radiation pressure \( P \) has the same dimensions as pressure, which is defined as force per unit area. - **Force** has dimensions of mass times acceleration: \[ [F] = [M][A] = [M][L][T^{-2}] ...
