To solve the problem of converting 5 Joules into the new system of units defined by `alpha kg` for mass, `beta m` for length, and `lambda s` for time, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the dimensional formula of energy The energy (in Joules) has a dimensional formula given by: \[ [E] = M L^2 T^{-2} \] where \(M\) is mass, \(L\) is length, and \(T\) is time. ...

If the unit of mass is alpha kg, the unit of length is beta metre and the unit of time is " gamma ' second, The magnitude of calorie in the new system is (1 Cal = 4.23)

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