A calorie is a unit of heat or energy and it equals about `4.2 J, where 1 J = 1 kg m^(2) s^(-2)`. Suppose we employ a system of units in which the unit of mass equals `alpha kg`, the unit of length equals is `beta m` , the unit of time is `gamma s`. Show tthat a calorie has a magnitude `4.2 alpha^(-1) beta^(-1) gamma^(2)` in terms of the new units.
