The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of time in a system where the speed of light (c), gravitational constant (G), and Planck's constant (h) are taken as fundamental units, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Establish the relationship**: We start by expressing time (T) in terms of the fundamental units c, G, and h. We can write: \[ T \propto c^x \cdot G^y \cdot h^z \] 2. **Write down the dimensions**: - The dimensions of time (T) are \( [M^0 L^0 T^1] \). - The dimensions of the speed of light (c) are \( [L^1 T^{-1}] \). - The dimensions of the gravitational constant (G) are \( [M^{-1} L^3 T^{-2}] \). - The dimensions of Planck's constant (h) are \( [M^1 L^2 T^{-1}] \). 3. **Substitute dimensions into the equation**: \[ [M^0 L^0 T^1] \propto (L^1 T^{-1})^x \cdot (M^{-1} L^3 T^{-2})^y \cdot (M^1 L^2 T^{-1})^z \] 4. **Expand the dimensions**: \[ [M^0 L^0 T^1] \propto M^{-y + z} \cdot L^{x + 3y + 2z} \cdot T^{-x - 2y - z} \] 5. **Set up equations by equating powers**: - For mass (M): \[ -y + z = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] - For length (L): \[ x + 3y + 2z = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] - For time (T): \[ -x - 2y - z = 1 \quad \text{(3)} \] 6. **Solve the equations**: - From equation (1): \( z = y \). - Substitute \( z = y \) into equation (2): \[ x + 3y + 2y = 0 \implies x + 5y = 0 \implies x = -5y \quad \text{(4)} \] - Substitute \( z = y \) and \( x = -5y \) into equation (3): \[ -(-5y) - 2y - y = 1 \implies 5y - 2y - y = 1 \implies 2y = 1 \implies y = \frac{1}{2} \] - Now, substitute \( y = \frac{1}{2} \) back to find \( z \): \[ z = \frac{1}{2} \] - Substitute \( y = \frac{1}{2} \) into equation (4) to find \( x \): \[ x = -5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{5}{2} \] 7. **Final expression for time**: - Now we have \( x = -\frac{5}{2}, y = \frac{1}{2}, z = \frac{1}{2} \). - Therefore, the dimensions of time in this new system can be expressed as: \[ T \propto c^{-\frac{5}{2}} \cdot G^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot h^{\frac{1}{2}} \] ### Conclusion: The dimensions of time in this new system are given by: \[ T \propto c^{-\frac{5}{2}} \cdot G^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot h^{\frac{1}{2}} \]
