The amount of heat energy Q, used to heat up a substance depends on its mass m its specific heat capacity (s) and the change in temperature `DeltaT` of the substance. Using dimensional method, find the expression for s is ( Given that `[S]=[L^2 T^(-2)K^(-1)]`) is

A

`QmDeltaT`

B

`Q/(mDeltaT)`

C

`(Qm)/(DeltaT)`

D

`(m)/(QDeltaT)`
